Caravan of GLAM was created in 2013 by Justin Buckles of Portland after he realized there was a need for LGBTQ community events in smaller cities throughout Oregon.

Since then, the variety show has toured California, Idaho, Washington, Montana, Utah, Colorado, Nevada, Alaska, Hawaii and hit season 10 of “America’s Got Talent.”

The Caravan of GLAM consists of a rotating cast of over 50 performers from Seattle to Hawaii, and performers come in all shapes, sizes and colors. All staff and entertainers are members of the LGBTQ community and identify as gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, trans-sexual, or queer.

The Astoria show will be hosted by Ecstacy Inferno and feature Isaiah Esquire, Jayla Rose, Johnny Nuriel, Holly Dai and more. The will include a night full of debauchery, raffles, and off-the-wall performances all rolled into one.
