Keyport’s vibrant arts scene will take center stage on Friday, October 17, 2025, when 3BR Distillery hosts a cabaret variety show to benefit the SHESHED Feminine Products Pantry. The evening promises an energetic mix of live vocals, comedy, and drag performances, bringing together local talent for a night of entertainment with a purpose. The event runs from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. at 3BR Distillery, located at 7 Main Street in the heart of Keyport.
The show will be led by cabaret performers Betty Buttonz and Aya Vlasheez, both members of the Haus of MonMouth, a local performance collective known for its creative drag and musical presentations. Betty Buttonz has developed a following for her live vocal performances and brings years of experience and artistry to the stage, using performance as a response to anti-drag sentiment. Aya Vlasheez, a frequent collaborator of Buttonz, adds her own dynamic flair, combining humor, vocal talent, and drag artistry to create an engaging and inclusive atmosphere.
Proceeds from the event will go directly to SHESHED, a Keansburg-based nonprofit dedicated to providing free feminine hygiene products to individuals in need across Monmouth County. The organization relies on community donations and hosts monthly distributions to ensure access to essential products for those facing economic hardship. By attending the cabaret, guests not only enjoy a night of entertainment but also support an important cause serving the local community.
Tickets are available for $20 online and $25 at the door, offering an affordable evening out that also contributes to a meaningful local initiative. The event reflects 3BR Distillery’s ongoing commitment to fostering community engagement through unique experiences. Known for its craft spirits and Soviet-punk-inspired tasting room, 3BR Distillery has become a cultural hub in Keyport, combining inventive cocktails with social events that support local causes.
This cabaret series exemplifies the growing trend in New Jersey toward combining arts, entertainment, and philanthropy, providing residents with ways to enjoy local culture while making a tangible impact. The evening encourages attendees to connect with performers, mingle with fellow community members, and engage with a cause that benefits countless individuals throughout the county.
