Kita Mean, the first-ever winner of RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under, is set to dazzle with a brand-new winter spectacular. Known for her infectious energy, comedic brilliance, and show-stopping performances, Kita has solidified her place as a leading figure in the drag scene. Beyond her Drag Race triumph, she co-hosted New Zealand's drag competition show House of Drag and co-owns Auckland's iconic Caluzzi Cabaret and Phoenix Venue.

Joining her are:

Rita Menu: Hailing from Kirikiriroa Hamilton, Rita made waves as a standout contestant on RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under Season 3.

Tess Tickle: A legend in the drag community, Tess began her illustrious career in the 1990s in Australia, becoming a darling of Sydney's competitive drag scene. As the drag mother to both Kita Mean and Anita Wigl'it, Tess has been instrumental in shaping the next generation of drag performers.
