- The two-hour performances will feature a variety of acts, including a rotisserie chicken-eating competition, drag, burlesque, live singing, and a pre-show playlist themed around grocery shopping.
- About a dozen performers were selected from roughly 60 auditions, including standup comic Andi Van Dyke and burlesque artist Stabitha Christie, with the show divided into two acts and an intermission.
- The event aims to benefit local food charities, accepting donations for Haley House, West Roxbury Food Pantry, and Allston-Brighton Food Pantry, and is restricted to attendees aged 21 and over.
