Gannon has described their upcoming performance as meaningful, fun, and filled with energy. He hopes that everyone who attends gains a valuable experience and finds themselves dancing along to the tunes.

Local Touches
Proud Larry’s co-owner, Scott Caradine, opened the venue back in April 1993 with his wife Lisa. Known for showcasing diverse artists with real integrity across various genres, Caradine has made sure that both the opening and headlining acts are carefully picked for their impactful messages. He is excited about Vision Video’s heavy ‘80s rock influence, which aligns perfectly with the venue’s mission to provide unique performances to the community.
Vivica Vanity Takes Center Stage
As a passionate advocate for queer communities, Vivica Vanity has been performing drag for almost three years. She has dedicated her performance to inspire others and create a more vibrant LGBTQ+ scene in Oxford. During the show, audiences will be treated to an array of new drag talents, including Felicity Fox, Fizzy Pop, Nota Maeto, Mad Madame Gothicc, and Rug Rat. It promises to be a remarkable showcase of creativity and artistry.

Roman Wells, a sophomore psychology major, and McKenley Coleman, a sophomore marketing major, both recognize the significance of drag as a powerful art form and appreciate the revival of post-punk vibes in music. Both students share a love for the inclusive atmosphere that events like this bring.
