Get ready for the ultimate night of glitz, glam, and unapologetic hilarity – because Aotearoa’s Queen of Drag is returning to Tauranga, and she’s bringing two absolute powerhouses with her 

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. Her captivating performances and unique style have earned her a dedicated following. Rita is celebrated for her dynamic stage presence and has been recognized as one of New Zealand's rising drag talents.
• 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. Her performances are renowned for their humour, glamour, and undeniable charism
