About

Drop the corporate pageantry, call your squad, and bring your full, authentic self. Strap in for an evening of uninhibited queer joy and sweet, sweet chaos. And on a school night, no less!

Open Up! is a monthly, interactive performance revue hosted downstairs in The Crypt at QXT’s Nightclub in Newark, NJ.

Built by local artists for local artists, we bring you a diverse lineup of unfiltered drag, burlesque, variety, and DIY performance art. It’s a dedicated third space for exploration, experimentation, and experience. No velvet ropes, no whitewashed fluff. Just raw talent, genuine human connection, and room to let loose. Keep the energy going with karaoke running upstairs all night long.

When: The last Wednesday of every month (Doors 8. Show 9 p.m.)

Where: QXT’s Nightclub (Downstairs in The Crypt) | 248 Mulberry St, Newark, NJ

Admission: Free / No Cover (Bring cash to tip the cast!)

Raffles! Games! Prizes! Come as you are, meet your new best friend, and escape into absurdity with Newark’s best underground talent.

Let's pack the house!
