Some of the queens we’ll be seeing at this shindig include Vancouverâs Kendall Gender, Calgaryâs Perla Coddington, and a local drag-cocktail-making duo known as âBitter Queensâ (Juke Bar Manager Olivia Povarchook and Tiago De Souza Jensen).
Partial proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to QMUNITY, a non-profit local organization that works to improve the lives of queer, trans and Two-Spirit people and their allies.
Be sure to grab tickets now for this event, which is an opening act for a Drags Benny pop-up brunch being held on April 14 in Victoriaâs Fairmont Empress Hotel featuring season eight RuPaulâs Drag Race contestant Laila McQueen.
