Queens, game KNB? Drag game show ‘Rampa o Bawi’ takes fans to another level

Experience the ultimate fusion of Filipino nostalgia and world-class drag at Rampa Drag Club’s interactive game show.

“Rampa o Bawi” delivers a thrilling, nostalgia-tinged drag game show experience, featuring powerhouse performances by the country’s top drag artists as they spar wittily with the audience.

Inspired by classic Filipino game shows, it reimagines the familiar quiz elements of our childhood with contemporary drag entertainment, creating an evening of spirited, interactive fun for everyone.

If you need more convincing, here’s what you should expect at Rampa’s immersive drag game show:

Quiz is it, mga misis!

At the heart of “Rampa o Bawi” are shared experiences. Guests are invited to pair up into teams, with some to be grouped with other fans, creating friendships and memorable moments as they prepare to battle other teams in sharp, witty questions.

As “madlang dabarkads,” a comedic mashup of “It’s Showtime!’s” (madlang pipol) and “Eat Bulaga’s” (dabarkads), the audience goes head-to-head in answering trendy and pop culture questions. Who popularized ‘wake and bake’ or the DTI secretary who said ₱500 was enough for noche buena? ‘Rampa o Bawi’ host and creator Buknoy Gonzales says to not take it seriously as it is all fun and games.

Dragdagulan to the max

Star performances in “Rampa o Bawi” cannot be missed. Produced by Adonis Production House—known for staging “Shady Brunch” and other drag spectacles—the show has made Rampa Drag Club its home court. With its electrifying production levels and unpredictably dynamic moments both onstage and with the audience, it challenges our understanding of drag entertainment.

In its third edition last Jan. 24, “Drag Race Philippines” alums Arizona Brandy and Hana Beshie and “Drag Den Philippines” queens Shewarma and O-A faced off in an ultimate showdown in games “Queenoy Henyo,” inspired by the classic “Pinoy Henyo

and “Say My Name, Say My Name,” where they guess the image presented.

Culture and community

One special fan from the winning group of the audience quiz night will go onstage and choose between “Pera o Kahon.” alongside the queens.

With the live entertainment bonding the community, fan clubs support their favorite icons and spread the K-Pop freebie culture into drag spaces. “It’s such an authentic experience, a natural thing here sa fandom. Parang mini-mirror namin ‘yong mga values ng queens [na] pagiging open sa community,” said “Team Arizona Brandy” fan Mikee Agnazata.

“It’s such a fun experience, kasi between the artist and the audience, parang na-bu-blur ‘yong lines here in the show.”

“Drag Race Philippines” royalties Precious Paula Nicole and Popstar Bench delivered show-stopping performances as Regine Velasquez and Sarah Geronimo. However, it was incoming “RuPaul’s Drag Race UK vs The World S3” contender Minty Fresh who described the Filipino drag experience best: “Ipakita natin sa kanila ‘yong lakas ng Pilipinas. ‘Di nila to ranas.”
