Have you been waiting for your chance to twirl on The Imperial’s iconic stages? Join us on the last Thursday of every month for Ruby’s Rumble! An open stage for all drag, hosted by Ruby Royale. An unforgettable evening of glitz, glam, and show-stopping performances. Each performer may select one category to perform in each month- scroll down for all the details.
Table reservations are strongly encouraged for dinner, but walk-ins are more than welcome. View our menus here.
A space for performers who want to bring a USB, hit play, and turn it out! This category is non-competitive—a chance to showcase your drag without the pressure of winning, so rustle up your fans and supporters to show them what you got! 4 minutes maximum performance time.
Each month, a themed brief will be released and posted on Instagram & saved into the RUMBLE highlights on Ruby’s page.
Performers in this category will prepare acts based on the challenge, with a focus on growth, creativity, and refining their craft. 4 minutes maximum performance time. This category is competitive and will count toward the evening’s win.
Music submission must be emailed 24 hours before the event to imperial@oddculture.group with your performer name & ‘Ruby’s Rumble’ in the subject line.
Note: Please submit an actual track file- not a Spotify/Youtube/Apple Music/etc link.
Theme: SHOW OFF!
No theme. No rules (aside from music and deadlines- you know the drill). No boxes to tick.
September is your chance to take everything you’ve learned, developed and discovered about your drag this year and put it on the stage.
Bring the performance YOU want to perform. Your music. Your style. Your drag. Show us who you are as an artist right now.
And when the music stops, we’re going to ask you one question:
“This time next year, what do you want to have achieved with your drag?”
Music & deadlines:
Email your track with your performer name & ‘Ruby’s Rumble’ in the subject line to the email blake.virgilio-naden@oddculture.group prior to the event. Please aim to submit 24 hours before- if it’s a busy night, we can’t always guarantee there will be space remaining for last minute submissions. Maximum track length is 4 minutes.
