About the event

It's Trans Awareness Month, and we have an all-star cast of trans performers and a very special guest as bachelor: River Butcher (@rivbutcher)!River Butcher is a Los Angeles-based standup comic, actor, and writer. His first half-hour special “A Different Kind of Dude” debuted on Comedy Central’s Youtube channel and was called “a masterclass in culture war commentary” by Esquire.com. River recently wrote on the FX pilot “Belated,” previously wrote for “A League of Their Own,” and created/starred in/wrote the critically acclaimed and GLAAD award-nominated tv show “Take My Wife.” You may have also seen him as non-binary standup comic Lindsay Brady on “Good Trouble” and Adam Conover’s sibling on “Adam Ruins Everything” or queer dinner guest Denim in the hit movie “Friendsgiving.” He has done standup all over the country, the globe, and the screen, including Ellen, Conan, Comedy Central, and HBO. River was named one of Vanity Fair’s “Ten Comics to Watch” at comedy’s prestigious Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal in 2017, just 6 years after doing his first stand up open mic. His first hour special “Someone’s Boyfriend” made it’s debut to lots of likes on Youtube in 2023. He is currently touring the country telling jokes about being trans.Featuring Mx. Dahlia Belle (@mx.dahliabelle), Riley McCarthy (@rileycandunk) & Seattle's JoJo Blacco (@jojoblacco) as heart throbs competing for River's love, this Heart Throb will be a night to remember! Hosted by Mack Lee & Randy! Poster by @coldmoonimageanddesign
