Barbarino’s Big Nite Out! MAC nominee for recurring series, returns to Lips Drag Queen Show Palace on Tuesday, March 31 at 7 PM for more OG fun and revelry! Singers, comedians, magic, specialty acts!—hosted by the effervescent Josh Chachi Cruz. This month’s guests are Broadway’s Gabrielle Elisabeth (Beautiful), Bianca DiSarro, puppeteer Yael Rasooly, Zach Carter, George Winters, magician Nigel Blackstorm and comedian 
Brian Bueche, with Musical Director Yaz Fukuoka and The Big Nite Out Band. The vibe is fun and eclectic—and the perfect antidote for these crazy times we live in.
Singer-actor Joshua “Chachi” Cruz is a man fueled by the magic of a live crowd. Whether he’s lighting up the legendary Ellen’s Stardust Diner, gracing the screens or commanding the stage, Chachi brings an infectious energy to every performance. Not only the host of BBNO, Chachi also brings his passion of the nightlife scene as BBNO Creative Producer, a deep love he’s tapped for crafting the perfect monthly blend of singers, comics and specialty acts into a seamless, high-octane variety show.
Gabrielle Elisabeth is thrilled to join her friends for Barbarino’s Big Night Out! A stage and screen veteran with over 15 years of experience, Gabrielle is excited to return to Broadway this December in the new musical Galileo. When she isn’t performing, she is training for her next marathon, whipping up a fabulous meal or chasing after her Giant Schnauzer puppy, Sir Winston.
Bianca DiSarro (she/her) is an NYC-based multi-hyphenate performer and a two- time Apollo Amateur Night winner. She can be seen on season one of Vinyl on HBO, plus her independent film, Cyclical, will be hitting the festival circuit this summer. Her mission is to inspire people to turn their mess into a message so that we can claim responsibility for the things we can control. Be Fierce! @biancadisarro

Brian Bueche is a stand-up comedian, voice actor, writer—and handsome young man. When he’s not scouring the internet for a new job or watching hockey, he’s performing across the country. You can catch him performing primarily at Comedy Village in Time Square. He has also written for numerous satire sites, such as Man Facts and Jumpkick Funding.
Nigel Blackstorm, a true original, is not only the world’s first and only Heavy Metal magician, but he also created his own genre of magic called “Heavy Magic.” By carefully combining heavy metal music, magic and a dash of comedy, he birthed something that cannot be explained; it must be experienced. Around the world, young, old and everyone in-between who have had the opportunity to witness Nigel live have had their minds blown.

For the past 20 years she has been touring her independent theatrical productions in over 35 countries and hundreds of festivals and theaters worldwide, garnering numerous International awards.
