En escena en Crystal Ballroom at Somerville Theatre: The Boston Ironsides Presents Rucks N' Tucks

The wigs are glued, the tracks are queued, and Rucks N' Tucks 2026 is back for another full-glam Lip Sync Smackdown for the Crown! Hosted by the gloriously unfiltered Vesula The He Bitch, this annual spectacular brings drag, rugby, camp, community, and just enough chaos to question the need for medic. Judging the night is RuPaul's Drag Race Season 6 icon Joslyn Fox, alongside reigning Mx. Ironsides Shanita Break, while DJ VersQueen keeps the ballroom moving with beats built for strutting, screaming, and making extremely confident choices. And beneath all the glitter, lashes, and rhinestones, Rucks N' Tucks helps make gay rugby possible. Your ticket supports the Boston Ironsides and helps sustain a space where LGBTQ+ athletes can compete, travel, build community, and exist loudly in a world that occasionally seems to think queer people need a permission slip. So yes, buying a ticket is technically activism - just with better music and significantly more sequins.
