Performers:

Queera Bang (they/them)

Queera Bang (they/them) is a non-binary performer/producer with the goal of creating more access to queer events, safe spaces, and visibility for Trans folks and youth in rural areas. They strive to create shows and spaces that celebrate gender diversity and drag beyond the world of Rupaul. Queera is known for their activism, roller skating antics, and ridiculousness on the mic. Off stage Queera continues to be a trans and mental health advocate. They are a co-founder of Valley Pride and work as a Queer Trans Trauma Therapist.

Sassafras Smalls (she/her)

Drawn to glitter, wigs and walking the runway (aka hallway) from a young age, Sassafras first took the stage at a Thorgy Thor show when she was 7 years old and fell in love with the art of drag. Her drag combines glamour, playfulness, and advocacy. She runs workshops across the province on supporting gender-diverse youth, has spoken at WE Day, and is featured in the documentary ‘Translations’ about Trans folks in Nova Scotia. Sassafras is here to promote youth in drag and slay down the patriarchy!

Diana B. Tease (she/her)

Diana B. Tease is Halifax’s Dashing Diabetic Diva, and yes… her blood sugar is probably higher than yours. Fueled by insulin, rhinestones, and sequins Diana brings high energy, sharp wit, and unapologetic queerness to every stage she graces.

Babie Majora (they/them)

Recently relocated from Toronto to Halifax, Babia Majora is a trans non-binary artist who saunters all the way along the gender spectrum. Mixing drag, burlesque, and boylesque, they are a winner of Canada’s drag competition Empire’s Ball Season 2, and recognized as one of Canada’s top three Xlesque (non-binary burlesque) performers. Babia combines elements of burlesque’s classic sensuality with drag’s vibrant, larger-than-life persona, creating performances that are both seductive and thought-provoking, while celebrating the freedom to exist beyond the binary.

Auntie Karm (they/them)

SURPRISE!!! Auntie Karm is back back back again. With being the founder of The Glitter Haus that contains their drag children Slayosha Nicole Smith and Tiffany Not a Top. Auntie is always down to give you a camp, singing or bratz performance. This is Auntie Karms last time performing as they are MOVING TO HALIFAX IN AUGUST!
