Lady Bunny's ‘Don’t Bring the Kids!’ Tour Kicks off in Pennsylvania
The title "Don't Bring the Kids!" is more than just a cheeky suggestion—it's a serious warning.

Lady Bunny, the iconic drag legend and razor-witted comic from New York City, is bringing her highly anticipated nationwide tour, "Don't Bring the Kids!", to Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. Produced by Voss Events, this tour promises a raunchy, no-holds-barred comedy and cabaret experience. True to Lady Bunny’s style, the show is packed with vulgar, side-splitting humor designed to shock, entertain, and leave audiences in fits of laughter.
In typical Lady Bunny fashion, “Don’t Bring the Kids!” embraces total filth and inappropriate humor, much to the delight of her fans. “With the election looming and many very nervous about it, people need a break from the news!” says Bunny, explaining the perfect timing of her tour. Audiences in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh can expect an evening filled with irreverent jokes about everything from Joe Biden to celebrity culture. One of the show’s standout numbers is a song about drag queen story hours, accompanied by an audience participation piece about the president. The drag queen also takes aim at pop culture, with new material focusing on the controversial weight-loss drug Ozempic, P. Diddy, and how fellow drag queen Trixie Mattel “stole her look.”

Musical parodies are a key part of Bunny’s act, and this show is no different. In her new performance, Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s “Murder on the Dance Floor” becomes “Ru Struggles on the Dance Floor”, a hilarious twist on the original. Lady Gaga’s anthem “Born This Way” is reimagined as “Born This Gay”, a queer anthem so unabashedly bold that, in Bunny’s words, it will “send you back into the closet—to pick out a more fab outfit!” A comedic highlight of the evening is Bunny’s self-proclaimed “world’s worst Cher impersonation,” where she riffs on her childhood dream of becoming Cher but humorously admits she wound up looking more like Chaz Bono.
The title “Don’t Bring the Kids!” is more than just a cheeky suggestion—it’s a serious warning. Bunny honed her craft in late-night clubs where twisted humor reigned supreme, far from the family-friendly environment conservatives may mistakenly assume. She jokes that she can barely groom herself, let alone others, playfully hitting back at critics. To ensure the show’s content is strictly for adults, she makes it clear on ticket links that the performance is not suitable for children, despite the occasional backlash.

Lady Bunny is known for her signature blend of singing, dancing, and quick wit, all wrapped up in her over-the-top drag persona. With decades of experience as a drag queen, Bunny continues to prove why she’s a living legend. In a recent feature for V Magazine’s “Thought Leaders” issue, she summed up her ethos perfectly: “My humor is outrageous, my look is over the top, and my politics are in your face. That's just the way I am!”
Bunny’s tour has already received rave reviews from critics. The New York Times praised her show as one that leaves audiences “weeping with laughter while groaning in disgust,” and in June, the NY Post called her “New York’s funniest drag queen.” Fans in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh can look forward to experiencing her unique blend of comedy and chaos firsthand.
Adding to the excitement, Bunny has teamed up with singer and producer Adam Joseph to release an original track called “Pssy This Good.”* Known for remixing artists like Sabrina Carpenter and Whitney Houston, Joseph brings his signature style to the new track, which will be released in October on Jah Records. Fans can expect more of Lady Bunny’s trademark humor in this song, as she clarifies with a wink that it’s “about me, not Springfield, Ohio!”
