After the party it’s the after party. All Festival long, things go late into the night at La Peg, the festival bar along Delaware Avenue.
Festival Kickoff
Our favorite sexy, sassy clown band Red 40 and The Last Groovement kicks in the Festival with a nighttime show at the Fringe headquarters. But the fun doesn’t stop there—let the groove afterglow carry you into the night with DJ Sideswipe.

Get Pegged Cabaret
Like a poison cookie—tempting and treacherous, pleasing and perilous—Get Pegged Cabaret lures you inside a reimagined La Peg, then jumps you with unrestrained intimacy and performance. Each night features uncensored and stimulating entertainment from the sexy, satirical, daring, delightful, queer, and most dangerous performers from Philadelphia, New York, and beyond. Co-curated and hosted by John Jarboe (artistic director of the Bearded Ladies Cabaret).

DJ E/\GLE
