Peak Pride and Rebellious Unicorns are pleased to present our latest and greatest event, the Licorne Lounge… and no, that’s not some deviant term. It’s just unicorn in french.
We’re billing it as the kickoff for the Peak Pride season, since we can’t actually host a Peak Pride yet (they’re coming, we promise!). This one of a kind event is taking place at the Kelowna Community Theater on Saturday, January 22, and will feature drag performances, live music and plenty of good times.
We’re going to have musical performances from Matthew Presidente as well as Leila Neverland. The former plays the keyboard like my mom wishes I did, and the latter has a voice you just have to hear. Joining them will be local Kelowna diva, Sparkle. Oh, and of course three stars from the hot show Call Me Mother; Ella Lamoureux, Valerie Hunt, and season one winner, Toddy. The icing on the cake? We’ve managed to convince Scarlett Bobo to come join our crew. She starred, and was a finalist on season one of Canada’s Drag Race. She might even swallow some fire. Guess you’ll have to watch and find out.
Licorne Lounge is proudly sponsored by Air Canada, Absolut., Peak Pride and Unicorns.LIVE.
Pricing: Licorne Lounge is available LIVE for all Super Unicorn subscribers, and is available on-demand 48-hours after the live show; non-subscribers can purchase for $15 (tax included).

A true charmer, Ella Lamoureux is Kelowna’s Sweetheart.

She twinkles, she glistens, she sparkles…and she’s the Okanagan’s cocktail queen! Known for her energy, charisma, sassy wit, and fabulous blonde hair, Sparkle (she/her) serves up a delicious combination of glamour, alcohol, and witty repartee.
