Monster Manor brings circus, cabaret and drag acts to Las Vegas in support of the Sin Sity Sisters AIDS Drug Assistance Program, with tickets funding HIV/AIDS medication access for the local community
Las Vegas is about to get a show where every ticket does more than open the door. Each one pays for real medication for people living with HIV or AIDS. The Velvet Circus is back. This time, it's Monster Manor—a benefit packed with circus acts, cabaret, and drag, all for the Sin Sity Sisters AIDS Drug Assistance Program (SADAP).
The Velvet Circus sold out its first run. Now, they're going bigger. The new lineup pulls in some of the wildest names in Vegas alternative entertainment. Monster Manor isn’t just another night out. It’s a mashup of aerialists, illusionists, contortionists, and drag stars. Every act is there to help the city’s most at-risk residents.
The Velvet Circus: Monster Manor is officially scheduled for October 1, 2026, at The Nunnery, with the show starting at 7:00 PM, as confirmed by KTNV.
Inside Monster Manor
The story follows Hanna, a young fruit bat who wants to earn her fangs and join the manor’s monsters. The audience tags along as Hanna explores a haunted house at the edge of The Velvet Circus. She meets ghosts, demons, vampires, and sea creatures. But it’s not just about monsters. It’s about facing fears and finding a place to belong. That message goes beyond the stage.
The cast is just as mixed as the story. Aerialists Skyy, Kahn, and Spinnin Shae fly above the crowd. Wanding Wizardess brings flow art to the floor. Illusionist Dyna, contortionist Cheryl Birch, and dancer Kim add more layers. There’s boylesque and stilts from Mr. Big Stuart, sideshow tricks from Bugaboo the Clown, vocals by Mickey Roark, and Las Vegas’ own camp drag clown Hanna Barbeara, known from OUTtv’s Camp Wannakiki. KTNV calls the show a blend of circus, cabaret, and drag. It’s a real showcase for the city’s alternative scene.
How the Benefit Works
Every ticket for Monster Manor goes straight to the Sin Sity Sisters AIDS Drug Assistance Program. This group helps people in Las Vegas get the medication they need to live with HIV or AIDS. Reserved seats cost $20. Standing room is $10. All tickets are sold through the Sin Sity Sisters website. The setup is simple. The show on stage means real help for people off stage. Las Vegas Weekly and BroadwayWorld Las Vegas both confirm that all proceeds go to SADAP. The focus stays on charity.
Sin Sity Sisters AIDS Drug Assistance Program (SADAP) is dedicated to providing access to essential medications for individuals living with HIV/AIDS in Southern Nevada, and Monster Manor continues this mission by directing all ticket proceeds to the program.
Las Vegas knows what a sold-out show looks like. Monster Manor follows a streak of packed events that have fired up the city’s alternative scene. Big Smoke Las Vegas seminars sold out earlier, as reported. It’s smart to check with the venue for updates. Sometimes, plans change fast.
