Lips, the ultimate in drag dining, will once again present “A Night of Stars,” at 7 pm on Thursday, March 5 as the official kick-off fundraiser for the annual SMART Ride (Southern Most AIDS/HIV Ride 2020), a 165 Mile bicycle ride from Miami to Key West planned for this November. This highly anticipated event, hosted by Lips’ show hostess Nicolette with a special appearance by Michael Dean as Cher, will feature celebrity guest servers: Austin Bergman, Rene Cantu, Jeff Honour, Robert Moelius and Carol Moran.
“Lips remains a strong supporter of SMART Ride, which contributes 100% of the ride proceeds to statewide AIDS care service organizations,” said Yvonne Lamé, Lips founder and co-owner. “We are thrilled to showcase our show palace and amazing cast while raising funds for this highly successful event.”
Five celebrity guest servers will be dishing out great food and fun alongside Lips’ very own cast of characters as SMART Ride supporters are dazzled by divas. Chosen for their commitment to the annual bicycling event, Austin Bergman, Rene Cantu, Jeff Honour, Robert Moelius and Carol Moran will camp it up table by table to earn extra tips for the cause.
Lips will present its popular divas impersonator show with witty mistress of ceremonies Nicolette, who regularly hosts every Thursday and Friday nights plus Sunday brunches. Lips leading ladies will entertain as Aretha Franklin, Reba McEntire, Rihanna and Pink with a special guest appearance by Michael Dean as Cher.
“We are thankful for Lips’ continued support of SMART Ride, which benefits several statewide organizations committed to helping those affected by HIV/AIDS,” said Glen Weinzimer, founder of SMART Ride. “Our friends and sponsors look forward to this annual event so we applaud Lips for being such a loyal supporter.”
