Give people a reason to make brunch an event.
A normal brunch competes with every other brunch in town. Monster Drag Brunch™ turns your daytime service into a ticketed occasion with live performance, a hosted show flow and built-in reasons for guests to eat, drink, celebrate and stay.

Brunch, but the room has been taken over. Guests arrive to a meet and greet, sit down to a plated service built with your kitchen, and stay for two hours of drag while they eat. It is the format that started Monster Presents, and it is the one venues re-book fastest, because it fills a slow daypart with a room that spends.
The menu is designed with you, not handed to you. Past services have run chicken and waffle sliders with candied bacon and blood orange syrup, biscuits under sausage gravy on an onion puree, and a straight breakfast for anyone who wants one. Your kitchen keeps control of the food; we build the theatre around it.
Where the room allows it we run two seatings in a day, a morning and an afternoon, which roughly doubles the take without doubling the load-in.
