Ginger Minj:
Ginger Minj, the self-proclaimed "nicest bitch you'll ever meet," has long reigned as the comedy queen of the South after multiple runner-up performances on RuPaul’s Drag Race and RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars. Inspired by classic funny ladies Carol Burnett and Lucille Ball, Ginger brings a unique blend of humor and glamour to the stage, coining the term "Glamour Toad" to describe her one-of-a-kind persona.
Her influence extends beyond the stage, with featured appearances in movies like Netflix's "Dumplin’” and Disney’s Hocus Pocus 2. Her latest venture comes from Simon & Schuster publishing β€” a memoir/cookbook titled Southern Fried Sass available everywhere now. Alongside multiple studio albums and singles including the books accompanying song of the same name and her forthcoming Christmas cover of β€œHard Candy Christmas”, Ginger has solidified her name in the Drag Hall of Fame and continues to climb to new heights.


Gidget Galore:
Joining Ginger Minj on stage is the fabulous Gidget Galore, a professional Orlando female impersonator since 2006. Gidget has graced nightclubs, corporate galas, and public events with her captivating performances. Recently honored by the Mayor of Orlando for hosting "Drag Queen Story Hour," where she reads to youngsters at the gay and lesbian center, Gidget brings not only glamour but also a touch of heart to the stage.

Patti O'Furniture:
Completing the trio is Patti O'Furniture, born out of a dare in 1999, and she has been a non-traditional force in female impersonation ever since. Known as the "yard sale with legs" for her initial costumes, Patti has become one of the most sought-after emcees in the region. From Los Angeles to New York, she has graced legendary clubs and shared the stage with numerous RuPaul's Drag Race queens.
A fixture on the Charleston drag scene, Patti has hosted events such as Charleston Pride, Big Gay Bingo, and monthly drag brunch shows. But Patti's contributions extend beyond the stage; every dollar she collects is donated back to the community. Over the years, she has raised over $1.5 million, supporting causes ranging from HIV/AIDS prevention and education to animal welfare, LGBT civil rights, the environment, and local arts organizations.
