Weekend Roundup: Guerrilla Queer Bar at Raven Lounge, Tig Notaro at The Troc, the It Gets Better Project Concert at Kimmel Center and More

FRIDAY

Out comedian Tig Notaro performs Friday night at The Trocadero.

• The Welcoming Committee is taking over all four floors and six bars of the Raven Lounge for its next Guerrilla Queer Bar. Insider tip: Say “cheers, queers” when you walk through the door and you’ll get a free drink.
• The phenomenal Tig Notaro brings her comedy to The Trocadero tonight in a show called “Boyish Girl Interrupted.” I’m already in stitches.
• Bearoncé easily wins the award for best event title this week. Just like it sounds, the evening features the boys of Bearlesque performing Beyoncé songs all night long. Josh Schonewolf makes his Bearlesque debut.
• Sleepover. The Party. returns with its monthly movie-themed dance party at Venture Inn, this time inspired by sexy, stylish thriller American Psycho. Come dressed as one of the characters from the film and get ready to boogie down all night.
• CUTN PASTE celebrates its two-year anniversary with Queenceañera, and a team-up with Brooklyn-based monthly dance party Papi Juice. (I luh ya, Papi.)

SATURDAY

CUTN PASTE turns 2 with a bash at The Bike Stop on Friday night.

• The leather community’s pride flag will be waving at Voyeur on Saturday for the annual Leather Pride Night. The festivities will include everything from boot-blackening booths and the curious-sounding Wheel of Kink to a performance by Liberty City Kings Drag and Burlesque.
