RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars | Season 8 Official Trailer

A RuPaul Drag Race winner has revealed an “unapologetically daft” new venture that’s got fans buzzing.

Ginger Johnson, one of Britain’s most acclaimed drag performers, won the reality show’s fifth series crown in 2023 and swiftly became a household name. The star has even graced the MasterChef kitchen with her presence.

Now, the entertainer has unveiled fresh plans, with supporters hailing it as the “best news ever”. Hot on the heels of her wildly successful 2024 tour Ginger Johnson Blows Off!, she’s hitting the road again with her latest theatrical extravaganza, Show Pony.

Ginger remarked: “In between whipping up a storm in the MasterChef kitchen, I’ve been busy cooking my brand new live show and I can’t wait to dish it out in theatres up and down the UK in 2026 and beyond.”, reports the Mirror.

Branded by the Guardian as “unapologetically daft”, the fresh production will travel nationwide from September 2026 through February 2027, with tickets available for purchase immediately.

Posting on Instagram earlier this month, Ginger Johnson declared: “Next year I’m saddling up and galloping off on tour all over the UK with my brand new live spectacular SHOW PONY!”.

“You’ve seen me in the Masterchef Kitchen, you’ve seen me on the Drag Race runway, now it’s time to see me in my element: outrageous, untamed and completely off the reins.

“Expect hoof-stomping original songs, whip-smart comedy, and enough glitter to choke a shetland. If unbridled Queer joy is your bag – this show is the safest bet in town.”
