Great Scott! It’s a costume contest!

Get ready for a campy, crazy good time…dress up as your favorite Rocky Horror Show character and join us before select performances. And of course, we encourage you to dress up every night!

How it works:

Lips guest judge Landa Plenty

Our hostess-with-the-mostest (and a little extra) Landa Plenty, along with her team of girls from Lips San Diego will be the contest judges and will be mingling with the contestants before final judging. Thirty minutes before the evening’s performance they will narrow the contestants down to their TOP SIX. Then, the audience will select the 1st,2nd, and 3rd place winners by applause.Last year, one of the top runners wore a rave outfit with these LED shades that were so amazing! This is such a cheerful event, and the applauses matter. So bring lots of friends to cheer for you!

  • 1 hour before performance – Check in and first round of judging
  • 30 minutes before performance – Lips judges narrow down to six contestants, audience applause for top three!
  • During performance – special recognition from actors on the stage

Contest Dates:

  • Wednesday, March 23 from 6:30 – 7:30 PM
  • Friday April 15 from 9:00 – 10:00 PM
  • Friday, April 22nd from 9:00 – 10:00 PM (added bonus, it’s Tequila Tasting night!)
  • Friday, April 29 from 9:00 – 10:00 PM

Just two rules:
1. No nudity – keep your naughty bits covered
2. Must be dressed as a character
