TRIVIA: Trivia at bars is so passé. Show off your knowledge of all things news, sports, and entertainment at the National Portrait Gallery’s Pop Quiz: ’80s Night in the Kogod Courtyard.

Free. 6:30 PM.

BURLESQUE: If you still haven’t checked out the wonderful weirdness of Red Palace, Wednesday’s Staxx Burly-Q Revue is your chance.

FILM: If you love (or are just transfixed by) RuPaul’s Drag Race, learn some more behind drag culture at the Black Cat’s Drink and a Movie night. Start things off with Paris Is Burning, an early-’90s documentary exploring New York City’s drag culture. Grab a drink special in between features and then catch But I’m a Cheerleader, a low-budget, critically panned rom-com about a high school cheerleader who tries to prove she isn’t a lesbian, which features RuPaul. Free. 8 PM.
