Puerto Vallarta Events, Shows, Live Music, Outdoor Fun and More!
What a difference a day makes. Sounds trite, I know, but I went from having one of the worst days of my life to waking up this morning with Bogie’s insistent meows and loves to realizing the pain in my face was gone. Not just diminished but gone. My caring dentist, Orlando Godinez, with the…
Come celebrate Enrique’s birthday! Hosted by Gouda Gabor. All proceeds will go to charity, helping kids with education, sports and arts.
The end of another week and month over these next couple of days; how was your Thanksgiving? Patrice and I talked about indulging in turkey with all the attendant goodies, but slid into some baked spaghetti from the air fryer instead. We get to keep our vegetarian badges for one more day! The cheesy carb…
Live entertainment is fraught with danger, which is why it’s so compelling. A dozen things can go wrong and often do, which can bring a superstar down to the level of a mere fan who is sitting in the audience, both wondering wtf happened to the microphone. When all the elements come together, however, that’s…
Coapinole gave up loads of treasures for both Patrice’s and my closets yesterday. Patrice is so very good about rotating her clothes and donating things she has worn to her heart’s content, so she has room in her closet for new things. I can’t say the same. I overflowed my closet over a year ago…
It’s the most wonderful time of the year and everyone’s favorite drag legend, Jackie Beat, wants everyone to know that it’s important to be generous, kind & altruistic. But it’s even more important to be pretty. With that in mind, don’t miss this iconic, legendary, delusional drag queen’s annual holiday show Jackie Beat: PRETTY LADY CHRISTMAS!…
This holiday season, RuPaul’s Drag Race All-Star and National Miss Comedy Queen Tina Burner has Low Elf-Esteem. While everyone else is helping themselves to candy canes and festive fun, this melancholy elf is just hoping to put the (self) help back in Santa’s Little Helper. Step into the glittery gloom of holidays gone wrong. Santa’s…
My agenda today looks like a shopping list to stock the QE2: the tianguis in Coapinole first thing, followed by a stop at the great charity-driven Hotel Bazaar in Lomas de Coapinole. Then Costco, La Comer, come home, see our friends off, nap, I have a meeting at Sandra’s house at 5, followed by the…
Happy one month to Christmas! A sobering thought that includes winter and New Year’s Eve mere weeks away. The only sad part about it is that my sister Patrice will be back in Canada, happily with her menagerie, dealing with the snow and cold. We celebrate each trip she makes to Mexico with a bus…
Sherry has a new holiday show skewering and destroying your favorite carols and pop songs. She’s half Jewish, she’s half Shiksa! “It’s the most wonderful time of the year”, and Sherry has a new holiday show skewering and destroying your favorite carols and pop songs. Sherry draws on many stories and experiences to create a…
A month or so ago, right after his 2025-26 opening of his show at The Palm Cabaret, I asked Roy Cruz if, after five years, he was getting tired or bored with Freddie Mercury and the music of Queen in his twice-weekly shows. He said, ”The more I research him and his life, the more…
Coco Cabaret was full of friends, supporters, sponsors, and fellow performers for the premiere of ‘Rock the Opera’ last week. Finally, dear and sweet Tonny Kenneth, under the Music Direction of Edgar Bernache, stood before his peers on stage and brought the house down. A little Simon and Garfunkel, Metallica, and more, mixed in with…
‘Tease‘ returns to Coco Cabaret for a second season, with a new, mindblowing show. A few elements from their first shows at Industry three or four years ago remain – the bathtub, fingerpainting in an entirely new (black) light, and others that remind us of the fantastic skills this company of acrobats possesses. The international…
For every plan A, there has to be a Plan B. I found out late last night that Madeline Milne can’t be at her new Living Room Bookstore and Cafe in 5 de diciembre to meet with Patrice and me this morning. A look at my calendar, that is getting more and more crowded as…
Just before I headed on vacation this summer, Jerry Jones, the publisher of Out & About Puerto Vallarta magazine, suggested we have breakfast at Trovasi on Aquiles Serdan. It was my first time eating there – what a joy! We revisited a few days ago to celebrate our November bdays, and to catch up on…
Santi’s Place brought in a couple of adorable puppies for adoption at last Friday’s ‘Game On with Christian’ at La Catrina Cantina. Santiago himself was there alongside volunteer David Smith, keeping the two rescue dogs more or less contained on the patio. A Jeopardy/Trivia game packed the upstairs bar on Lazaro Cardenas with about a…
A Latin Night You’ll Never Forget Join us for a night full of rhythm, laughter, and pure Latin energy. Kimani Carrazana leads the storm with his incredible voice, magnetic stage presence, and Cuban soul that fills every beat. This time, he’s joined by the amazing special guest Patriz, whose powerful vocals and charm bring even…
In the afternoon of Halloween, La Catrina Cantina was cloaked in black cloth, setting the sexy mood for Gloria Fiona‘s next leap into S and M theatre with more volunteers than she could handle at the ready. Who knew bondage could be so much fun! Many people came in costume, which added to the creative…
When the worlds of rock and opera collide, sparks are bound to fly—and Rock at the Opera is proof that those sparks can light up an entire stage. The show, starring Panamanian vocalist and producer Tonny Kenneth, is more than a concert; it’s a sonic experience where the intensity of rock and the grandeur of…
If you are a fan of Madonna, then get thee hence to Coco Cabaret next Sunday at 9 pm to see Waleska Rondon portray the Material Girl to an exquisite ‘T.’ This fast-paced tribute, produced by Chris Lopez, was an audience sing-along (and dance-along for a few super-fans on the sidelines) featuring many of Madonna’s…
