🤩 Don't miss Fulta and her fabulous friends this Sunday! 🤩

🚨 PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: Your Sunday afternoon is about to get upgraded. 🚨

Fulta & Friends Cocktail Cabaret is BACK at the Temple Lounge, hosted by the one and only Fulta Burstyn – grand dame drag royalty, professional glam menace, and a woman who has never met a spotlight she didn’t deserve. 💋👑

She’s bringing a lineup so good it should come with a warning label:
🎹 Chris Tackett on piano (making talent look effortless, which is frankly rude)
🎤 Robin Bousel + Sarah Llewellyn serving vocals, face, and feelings
💃 Na-il Ali Emmert delivering dance that will make your core feel personally attacked
🎧 And yes, DJ Bossy Bottom is on deck keeping the grooves going all afternoon because quiet is for tax season.

📅 Sunday, March 8, 2026
🕒 3–6pm
📍 Temple of Music and Art Lounge • 330 S. Scott Ave • Downtown Tucson
🔞 18+
🎟️ Tickets: GoldenGravy.com or at the door (if you enjoy living dangerously)

Arrive early. Order a cocktail. Leave with a new obsession and at least one questionable decision you fully stand by.
