After a tumultuous year, the Mr. Lower East Side Pageant is returning -but this time, it’s coming to Queens.

Ridgewood’s Footlight Bar will be the venue for the “17.5th” annual Mr. LES Pageant this Saturday, October 22 at 8 p.m.  The pageant will be hosted, as always, by Reverend Jen Miller.

“The 17.5th annual pageant will prove to be an extra-glamorous extravaganza, similar to the Ms. Universe Pageant, if all the contestants were hairy and liked Budweiser,” says Rev Jen.
