Virtual drag bingo combines live drag queen entertainment with interactive team building via Zoom, Teams, or your preferred video platform. I open with a live musical performance (yes, I sing live - Broadway training pays off), then we play 4+ rounds of bingo while I crack jokes, call out winners, and keep your team engaged in the chat. Participants get digital bingo cards that work on any phone or computer - no downloads, no IT tickets, no drama.
Q: What is LGBTQ+ Pride trivia?
LGBTQ+ Pride trivia is an interactive game show where a drag queen host leads your team through rounds of questions about queer history, culture, and pop culture. Participants answer individually on their phones or computers, with automatic scoring and live leaderboards. It's educational DEI programming that doesn't feel like a compliance requirement. A typical 60-minute session includes 3 rounds of trivia (8-10 questions per round) plus live drag performance. Perfect for Pride Month, LGBTQ+ History Month, and year-round diversity programming.
Q: How long is a virtual drag bingo event?
A standard virtual drag bingo event runs 60 minutes. That includes my opening live musical performance, 4+ rounds of bingo, interactive chat engagement, and music requests from your team. The Express option is 30 minutes with 3 bingo rounds - perfect for lunch breaks or all-hands intros.
Q: What happens during a virtual drag show?
Every virtual drag show starts with a live musical performance in full drag (fabulous costume, Broadway-trained vocals, the works). Then we move into the interactive portion - either bingo or trivia depending on your package. I keep the energy high with hilarious commentary, personalized shoutouts, party music with requests, and tons of interaction via chat. Your team plays along on their phones or computers. It's not a "sit and watch" presentation - everyone participates.
Q: What is included in the booking fee?
Your booking fee covers a complete turnkey production. That includes: my live musical performance, interactive gameplay (bingo or trivia), digital cards for every guest, all technical setup and testing, and direct communication with me from first email to final curtain call. You're not paying an agency - you're paying the actual performer who will host your event.
Q: How many people can participate?
Virtual drag shows work for groups of 10 to 500+ participants. Standard packages (Virtual Drag Bingo at $900 and LGBTQ+ Trivia at $1,000) include up to 50 players. Groups over 50 add $50 per additional 25 people. The Express package ($500) works for up to 100 people. Custom events can accommodate any size. Because I use professional digital cards, the experience stays fast-paced and engaging regardless of group size.
Technical Requirements
Q: What video platforms do you support?
I work on all major video platforms: Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and WebEx. Zoom is the most popular for its Gallery View feature, but I've hosted hundreds of shows on each platform. I can host from my professional studio or join your company's secure meeting link - whatever works best for your IT team.
Q: Can we use Microsoft Teams instead of Zoom?
Yes, Microsoft Teams works perfectly for virtual drag shows. I've hosted hundreds of corporate events on Teams. The digital bingo cards work in any browser, so your team doesn't need to install anything. The only difference is the video layout. Teams handles large groups slightly differently than Zoom, but the experience is equally fabulous.
Q: Do participants need to download anything?
No downloads required. Participants simply join the video call on their usual platform. The virtual bingo cards work in any web browser on a phone, tablet, or computer - just click a link I provide. It's completely frictionless. Your IT team won't hear a peep.
Q: What if someone has technical issues during the event?
Technical issues are rare but I'm prepared for them. I send detailed instructions before every event, including a test link for the bingo cards. During the show, I have backup options ready and can troubleshoot common issues in real-time. If someone can't get their bingo card working, they can still participate via chat and enjoy the show - no one gets left out.
Q: Can we do hybrid events with some people in the office?
Yes, hybrid events are one of the most popular formats I host. The in-office group can gather in a conference room with the video on a big screen, while remote team members join individually from anywhere in the world.
Q: Can we record the session?
Yes, you can record the event. Many companies share recordings with team members who couldn't attend or include clips in internal newsletters. Just let me know you're recording so I can acknowledge it at the start. The recording is yours to use internally however you'd like.

Express Drag Bingo or Trivia is $500 for up to 100 people (30 minutes). Custom events start at $1,500. Groups over 50 add $50 per additional 25 people. All prices include tax.

Q: What's the difference between Express and full Virtual Drag Bingo?
Express Drag Bingo is 30 minutes with a live musical opener and 3 bingo rounds. Full Virtual Drag Bingo is 60 minutes with a longer live performance, 4+ bingo rounds, more interaction, and music requests.

Choose full when you want the complete experience.
Q: How far in advance should we book?
Most dates can be booked 2-3 weeks in advance. Pride Month (June) books up quickly. I recommend 4-8 weeks ahead. Holiday season (November-December) also fills fast so book 4+ weeks early. For the rest of the year, I can often accommodate last-minute requests if my schedule allows. When in doubt, reach out early.
Q: When does Pride Month sell out?
Pride Month dates typically start filling in April. By mid-May, June is usually fully booked. If you want a specific date during Pride Month, I recommend booking by early April at the latest. I host multiple shows per day during Pride, but demand consistently exceeds availability.
Q: How do we pay and book?
You can pay via credit card for immediate booking, or I can onboard as a 1099 contractor through your company's vendor portal. I provide W-9 documentation and professional invoicing for corporate procurement departments. Most bookings are confirmed within 24 hours of reaching out.
Q: What's your cancellation policy?
All bookings are non-refundable, but you can reschedule. Reschedule 5+ business days before your show at no charge. Reschedule within 5 business days of your show for a $100 fee. I understand plans change. Rescheduling keeps your investment intact while protecting my calendar.
Content & Appropriateness
Q: Is virtual drag bingo appropriate for corporate events?
Virtual drag bingo is specifically designed for corporate environments. I've hosted 1,000+ shows for Fortune 500 companies including Meta, Microsoft, Amazon, and UnitedHealth. The content is HR-friendly by design - no crude humor, no awkward moments. I focus on joy, laughter, and building team connection. This isn't a club performance; it's professional entertainment that happens to involve sequins and Broadway-level vocals.
Q: Is the content HR-friendly?
Yes, all content is HR-friendly and designed specifically for professional workplaces. I've hosted events where CEOs and summer interns played bingo together. The humor is clever, inclusive, and appropriate for all audiences. I've been doing corporate entertainment for years and understand the difference between a nightclub and a company event.
Q: Can we have executives and interns in the same event?
Absolutely. Mixed-seniority events are my specialty. Virtual drag bingo is a great equalizer - everyone's playing the same game, laughing at the same jokes, and competing for the same prizes. I've hosted events where the CEO won bingo and the intern won trivia. It breaks down hierarchy in the best possible way.
Q: Is this appropriate for conservative industries?
Yes, I regularly work with law firms, financial services, healthcare companies, and other traditionally conservative industries. Hogan Lovells (global law firm) and UnitedHealth (healthcare giant) are past clients. The content is professional regardless of industry. Drag is simply an art form - my shows focus on games, communtiy, laughter, and team building, not anything controversial.
Q: What if someone on my team is uncomfortable with drag?
Participation is always optional. Cameras can stay off. Team members can engage via chat only if they prefer. In my experience, even skeptics have a great time once the show starts - I've converted many doubters! But no one is ever put on the spot or forced to participate in ways that make them uncomfortable. The vibe is welcoming and inclusive for everyone.
Customization Options
Q: Can you wear our company colors?
Yes, I can incorporate your company colors into my costume and look. This is especially popular for branded events, product launches, and company anniversaries. Custom costuming is included in the Custom Event package ($1,500+) or available as an add-on for standard packages.
Q: Can you include company trivia or inside jokes?
Absolutely. Custom content is one of my favorite things to create. Send me your company trivia, inside jokes, employee milestones, or industry-specific content, and I'll weave it into the show. This makes the event feel uniquely yours. Custom content is included in the Custom Event package or available as an add-on.
Q: Can we request specific songs?
Yes, music requests are welcome! During the show, your team can request songs via chat and I'll play them between bingo rounds. You can also send me a playlist in advance if there are specific songs that matter to your team or fit your event theme. Remember - I sing live, so I might even perform one of your requests!
Q: Do you do holiday-themed shows?
Yes, holiday themes are very popular. My Mrs. Claus is legendary. I also do Halloween, Valentine's Day, and other seasonal themes. Holiday shows book quickly - December dates typically fill by early November. Themed costumes are included in Custom packages or available as add-ons.
Why Book Schwa
Q: Why book Schwa instead of a large talent agency?
When you book with me, you work directly with a Broadway performer and Food Network Chopped winner who is personally invested in your event's success. I'm your personal entertainment provider, not a faceless agency.
Q: Do you work with international teams?
Yes, I regularly host shows for international teams across the US, Canada, Europe, Asia, and Australia. I'm happy to accommodate any timezone - early morning for Europe, lunch for East Coast, morning for West Coast. Your global team can celebrate together regardless of where they're located.
Virtual Team Building & Pride Events
Q: What are good virtual team building activities?
The best virtual team building activities combine interaction with entertainment, something beyond "let's all unmute and chat." Popular options include virtual trivia (teams compete in themed rounds), virtual bingo (a host calls numbers while players compete on digital cards), escape rooms (teams solve puzzles together), and cooking or mixology classes (everyone makes the same recipe). For groups that want something memorable, drag queen bingo creates shared experiences people actually talk about afterward. Providers like Virtual Drag Shows specialize in corporate-friendly versions starting at $500. The key is choosing activities with a professional host who keeps energy high. Self-run activities often fall flat.
Q: How do you celebrate Pride Month at work?
Companies celebrate Pride Month (June) through a mix of internal programming and visible support. Common approaches include hosting Pride-themed events (virtual drag bingo, LGBTQ+ trivia, speaker panels), displaying Pride flags and updating company logos, sharing educational content about LGBTQ+ history, spotlighting LGBTQ+ employees who want to share their stories, and supporting LGBTQ+ causes through donations or volunteer opportunities. For remote and hybrid teams, virtual Pride events create inclusive celebrations that reach everyone regardless of location. Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) typically lead Pride programming. Virtual Drag Shows offers Pride Month entertainment packages starting at $500, with June dates filling by April. If your company has a Pride ERG, connect with them early (February-March) to plan activities.
Q: What is an ERG event?
An ERG event is programming organized by an Employee Resource Group, a voluntary, employee-led group that fosters community around shared identities or experiences. Common ERGs include Pride/LGBTQ+, Women's Network, Black Employee Network, Veterans, Parents, and disability-focused groups. ERG events range from casual networking (coffee chats, happy hours) to educational programming (speaker panels, workshops) to celebrations (Pride Month, heritage months, cultural holidays). ERG leaders typically have modest budgets ($500-$5,000 per event) and look for activities that engage both members and allies. Virtual drag bingo and LGBTQ+ trivia from providers like Virtual Drag Shows are popular for Pride ERG events because they're educational, entertaining, and create space for allies to participate comfortably.
Q: How do you host virtual trivia?
To host virtual trivia, you need a host, questions, a way for participants to answer, and a scoring system. DIY options include using free tools like Kahoot or Google Forms, but these require someone on your team to host and keep energy high. That's harder than it looks. Professional virtual trivia hosts ($500-$1,500) handle everything: themed questions, answer tracking, live leaderboards, and entertainment between rounds. Virtual Drag Shows offers hosted LGBTQ+ trivia starting at $1,000 for groups up to 50, with themes covering Pride history and queer pop culture. Most hosts work on Zoom, Teams, or Meet. Book 2-3 weeks ahead for most dates, 4-8 weeks for Pride Month (June).
