New York Takeover is a turnkey drag showcase designed for venues that want big energy, reliable talent, and full rooms - without administrative headache.
When you book New York Takeover, you're not booking four individual performers.
You're booking a curated, professional drag product built for modern nightlife.
New York Takeover is a rotating drag collective powered by ten of New York City's most in-demand performers. Each booking features two (TAKEOVER DUO) or four (FULL TAKEOVER) standout queens, selected based on availability, chemistry, and the vibe of your space.
We handle the logisistics. You handle the bar sales.
One Booking. Four Performers.
No chasing DMs. No last minute cancelations. No juggling egos or Venmos.
You communicate with one producer, receive one confirmation, and get four fully prepared performers on stage.
Our roster includes queens known for:
High-energy performance
Confident hosting and crowd control
Strong local followings
Professional call times and show flow
This is drag that works for bars - not just for Instagram.
