We will kick off the day with DJ EZ and your host and entertainer, Patti O’Furniture, a 1 PM & 4 PM show with a set by Patti and a 50 minute set called “Crossdress for Christmas” by the one-and-only, Ginger Minj!
★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★
The absolutely stunning GINGER MINJ has a brand new Christmas show! You won’t want to miss out! Call it a “relig-ish” experience.
Raised as a Southern Baptist in Lake County, Florida, self-described “Glamour Toad” Ginger Minj got tired of all the fire and brimstone and set off in search of her own answers — a wild and wonderful journey that led her to honors such as being named “Miss Gay United States At Large 2013,” “Miss National Comedy Queen 2012” and a finalist spot on season 7 of RuPaul’s Drag Race.
In her holiday show Crossdresser for Christmas, Minj will be “preaching to the perverted” while serving up enough over-the-top, rhinestone-studded humour to have you laughing into the new year. It sets some of the most outrageous, insane and TRUE stories of Ginger’s Christmas’ past to some of the worlds favorite holiday classics. Laugh, cry and clutch your pearls as you find out why her family puts the fun in dysfunction!

About GINGER MINJ
Long before she held court as a finalist on season 7 of “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” Ginger reigned as The Comedy Queen of The South from her home base in Orlando, Florida. The self-professed “nicest bitch you’ll ever meet” cites classic funny ladies Carol Burnett and Lucille Ball as her idols. “Anyone who can pile three wigs on their head, squeeze their body into a beaded and rhinestone gown and serve humor alongside the glamour is my hero,” says Ginger. That’s why she coined the term “Glamour Toad” to describe her unique persona. After spending the past year and a half touring the world, performing show tunes for Broadway royalty on national television and recording her debut studio album, Ginger can currently be seen on season 2 of “RuPaul’s All Stars Drag Race.”
