For many performers, a missed show can mean a huge pay cut. 

Drag queens, comedians, musicians, and other entertainers are mostly independent contractors, which means no employer provided health insurance or sick time. 

Now, local drag queen Betty Wetter, as well as the dance duo Drama Tops, and Velocity Dance Center, have come together to create the Queer Sick Pay Fund. 

The Fund is meant to provide queer nightlife performers in the Seattle area with sick pay and resources when they have to miss a gig. 

Guest:

  • Seattle drag queen Betty Wetter
