"Mighty Real," a sketch variety show dedicated to joy and comedy inspired by the lives of queer people of color, is back in The City.

This will be the show's fourth year, an annual event by LGBTQ+ culture and events group ItsQwere. Music, dance, spoken word and more will be gracing the stage, featuring writers like Dara M Wilson, Sampson McCormick, Dom Gélin and Baruch Porras-Hernandez.

For writer Dom Gélin, the emphasis is on "variety" in variety show.

"One of the great things about our writing team is that our queer experiences are fairly different," said Gélin. "We have sketches that run the gamut from regulars at a sex club to the person who doesn't know the first thing about getting laid. We have a little something for everyone."
