Join hostesses Oliver Branch, Elsa Touche & KaiKai Bee Michaels for San Francisco's Most Ridiculous Drag Show each and every Thursday night at The Edge at 10pm! About Us:

We are a drag show for everyone! Founded

in 2004 by the legendary Cookie Dough & her husband and creative partner DJ MC2, The Monster Show has become one of San Francisco's most beloved shows. A mix of underground edginess, radio favorites, show tunes, camp, glamour, and just a little bit of mess, this show has something for everyone. We are an award-winning, though God knows how, little drag show in here in San Francisco & the longest running drag show in the Castro! On behalf of our beloved founder Cookie Dough, who passed away on January 29, 2015, and her loving husband MC2, Elsa Touche, KaiKai Bee Michaels, and Oliver Branch have taken over hosting duties, and along with the stage manager Otter, co-produce this wonderfully ridiculous drag show. This show remains a living reminder of the spirit of Cookie Dough, one of laughter, community, joy, and ridiculousness!
