Paris doesn't only go out to clubs. The capital's queer scene also lives in its theatres, small venues and concert halls: cabaret revues, plays and one-person shows, open mics, concerts by queer artists, literary evenings and themed balls. These formats often start earlier in the evening, seated or in intimate rooms, and leave space for writing, humour and performance.
Events are spread across the city: cabarets and revues around Pigalle and the Grands Boulevards, small theatres in the Marais and eastern Paris, hybrid venues like La Bellevilloise, concert halls in Montmartre and Bastille. Many shows run over several dates, so it's worth booking ahead.
This agenda lists upcoming LGBTQ+ shows and cultural events in Paris and the Île-de-France region, updated continuously. For dance nights, see the parties agenda; for drag performances, the drag shows agenda. Download the Agenda LGBT app to keep the dates at hand and never miss a performance.
Frequently asked questions
Which LGBTQ+ shows can you see in Paris?+
Every month Paris hosts queer cabaret revues, plays and one-person shows, open mics, concerts by LGBTQ+ artists and more unusual events (balls, literary dating, readings). The full, up-to-date list is in the agenda above.
Do you need to book for a queer show in Paris?+
Yes, in most cases. Theatres and show venues have limited capacity and the most anticipated dates often sell out. The ticketing link is on each event page.
How is this different from drag shows and parties?+
This page gathers shows and cultural outings: cabaret, theatre, concerts, open mics. Drag performances have their own drag shows agenda, and clubbing nights the parties agenda. Together they help you plan your week.
