A combination of ice skating, drag, comedy and climate? The Bearded Ladies Cabaret has it all in one ‘cool’ event.

Philadelphia’s drag superstars are lining up on the ice next to trained professionals for an upcoming show.

The Bearded Ladies Cabaret are hosting two shows to explore the “hard truths’ of climate change while exploring how humanity can get back up. The shows have two versions: an adult-geared Edging and a kid-friendly Family Skate at the Blue Cross River Rink Winterfest from Thursday- Saturday, February 16th to 18th, and February 23rd to 25th.

Climate activities will table at each show, as well as a free skate for the audience. The adult performances are Thursday and Friday at 8:30 PM, and the kids-friendly skates are Saturday morning at 10 AM. Tickets are $20 for adults, free for kids, and $35 for VIP.
