Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
Comedy Central's The Opposition Show With Jordan Klepper is running a segment tonight, April 9, on Denver's own BookBar and its Drag Queen Story Time.
Drag Queen Story Time, a drag queen-hosted book reading for children and happy hour for adults, is a monthly feature at BookBar that's billed as a celebration of diversity and inclusiveness. The crew from The Opposition Show shot the February 8 edition, which was led by queens Shirley Delta Blow and Dixie Crystals.
BookBar will host a viewing part at 9:30 p.m. tonight at 4280 Tennyson Street.
"We are so thrilled to not only be taking what we do to a national audience, but to also illustrate the impact that indie bookstores can have on communities and the importance of creating inclusive and diverse spaces," says BookBar owner Nicole Sullivan of tonight's segment.
Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
