Memorial Day at Fire Island’s Ice Palace with Dina Martina

Memorial Day weekend on Fire Island is officially the start of summer — and this week on Trigger Warning, Adam and I are recording live from the legendary Ice Palace in Cherry Grove.We kick things off with some classic Fire Island banter: wigs, chaotic past parties, rainy holiday vibes, and yes — thoughts on the Kylie Minogue Netflix documentary. But there real meat and potatoes, folks is our extra special guest. This week we welcome one of my all-time favorites to the show: the incomparable Dina Martina.Dina and I talk about her recent run at Café Carlyle in New York, her long-standing Memorial Day tradition of performing at the Ice Palace, and why Fire Island audiences hit differently than Provincetown crowds. She shares an unforgettable story about the late Chita Rivera praising her work — a full-circle moment that says everything about Dina’s singular brilliance.And yes, Dina shares what triggers her too!!!It’s camp, it’s chaos, it’s Fire Island — and it’s the unofficial kickoff to Summer season 2026.If you love LGBTQ comedy, queer nightlife, Cherry Grove history, and behind-the-scenes stories from iconic performers, this episode is for you.@triggerwaringnyc@redeye_ny@pridehousemediaWrite to us at: [email protected] DESCRIPTION:@triggerwaringnyc@redeye_ny@pridehousemediaWrite to us at: [email protected]
