Performers
Bambi Rey
An Indigenous, Two‐Spirit drag performer and makeup artist from Treaty One Territory, Bambi Rey has been performing since 2018. She is a member of the Bannock Babes, Winnipeg’s premier #indigidrag collective. Her drag is polished, glamorous, big hair, all about the makeup and sometimes very club kid. You can catch her performing at Club 200 or follow her on Instagram at @thebambirey for her schedule updates.
Esla Marquesa
An imperial grand duchess of Manitoba, Esla Marquesa likes long walks, sunny days and fried chicken. She has been performing drag for almost a year, which is longer than her longest relationship. As the lead entertainer at Club Happenings, she is also an active member of International Imperial Court System, the largest and second oldest non‐profit LGBT organization in the world. Follow her on Instagram at @esla_marquesa.
Kymera
After premiering just over a year ago, Kymera has been tearing up stages across the city with performances that are often high‐energy, sometimes comedic, but always electrifying. A founding member of local drag trio Chemical X, she strives to ensure that performers who identify as BIPOC always have a safe space to showcase their art and performances. She’s pretty, she’s witty, she’s Kymera! Keep up with @kymeraqueen on Instagram.

A drag artist and live singing diva from Winnipeg, Lady Muse is the drag daughter of local icon Elle Egante and has been performing for over two years.
