Galactic Gala

On Friday October 11th Probe Ottawa X Miss Diagnosis present Galactic Gala: an out-of-this-world Showcase featuring drag, burlesque, and more! Halloween Edition!

Enjoy an evening of curated cocktails and fantastic entertainment, followed by a play party. This is going to be one spectacular evening highlighting incredible performers in our gorgeous community. Get ready to be dazzled by Miss Diagnosis guiding you through the evening as your host and taking to the stage himself for jaw dropping entertainment. We promise to leave you breathless and begging for more. 

Once the performers have blown you away, the night doesn't stop! As the curtains close, Probe's dungeon will open and you're welcome to show us a little of what you can do. We'll transform into play party mode and keep the energy flowing til 2AM. **Please note, our entry door will be locked after 12AM (midnight) for the safety of our members and staff.

Fuel up with our delicious drinks with our bar serving a tantalizing selection of cocktails & beer. Non-alcoholic beverages will be available as well, including special mocktails. 

Choose your comfort level and participate in a consent focused show— wear a provided glow stick to indicate you are comfortable with performers interacting with you during their numbers, and sit in the front rows! Alternatively, sit in the back rows without a glow stick for an interaction-free show.

Galactic Gala is happy to say that we pay every performer a guaranteed amount, however tips are still highly encouraged as all the performers put so much into these numbers. For ease, tip jars for each performer will be available as well as tip jars for the dj and bartender. Feel free to tip the performer directly or utilize the tip jars throughout the show. Bring those $5 bills!! Miss Diagnosis will also have a square reader for credit/debit  tips— to be split among all performers.

Tickets are limited to 40 attendees for this event and are on a sliding scale. We aim to give opportunities to everyone to have access despite financial barriers. Choose the ticket price that suits your preference! All tickets are for the entry to an event and you get no more or less for the price you choose.

A Probe membership is required to attend this event. If you haven't secured your membership yet, be sure to do so before the event! You can sign up for your membership on our site here or at Probe. Temporary 24 hour memberships are also available for $10 and can only be purchased at the door.
