Now, Godfrey’s is hosting two virtual drag shows every week, until it can reopen again: one at 8 p.m. Wednesdays and the popular drag brunch at noon Sundays.

Viewers can tune in on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/godfreysva. And on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/godfreysrva/

All tips go directly to the entertainers; all profits from the bar and kitchen go to the staff, such as the waitresses, bartenders and cooks. Godfrey’s has a staff of about 20 people, including the entertainers.

A typical Sunday drag brunch can hold up to 85 people, but now that Godfrey’s has gone virtual, the live drag shows are pulling in 1,000 viewers or more from as far away as South Korea, China and Texas.

“People who can’t always come to a show can now watch the show virtually. People from other states can tune in. I got a tip from my friend stationed in Afghanistan. ... I cried,” Davenport said.

The tips for the virtual drag brunch, which can often cover a performer’s rent or mortgage, weren’t as high as the live shows, while the Wednesday show pulled in a larger amount than normal.

“It’s been really humbling and uplifting to reach so many people,” Davenport said.
