About Best in Drag Show
Each year, five contestants work with a team to perfect their personas and performances to compete in classic pageant rounds: swimsuit, talent, evening gown, and Q&A. Each act is a celebration of self-expression and individuality (with more than a little edgy snark mixed in), reflecting the vibrant tapestry of the drag community.
Behind the scenes, a team of passionate individuals works tirelessly to bring the show to life. From coordinating logistics to ensuring every sequin is in place, their efforts are instrumental in creating an unforgettable experience for all who attend. Leading the way are longtime director Jeffrey Drew, host Patrick Rush, set designer Jimmy Cuomo, and photographer John Paschal, whose passions for both entertainment and community service have helped shape the Best in Drag Show into the spectacular event it is today.
With each passing year, the Best in Drag Show has cemented its reputation as an unmissable spectacle. From its humble beginnings in a West Hollywood living room to its current home at the Orpheum Theatre, the fundraiser’s impact has always been far-reaching, touching the lives of countless individuals over the last few decades and raising millions of dollars to support the vital work of Alliance for Housing and Healing. Since joining forces with APLA Health in 2021, Alliance for Housing and Healing continues in its mission to support low-income people with HIV/AIDS through stable housing and food assistance.
As the curtain rises on another unforgettable evening of laughter, love, and liberation, the Best in Drag Show continues to remind us that when we come together as a community, there’s no limit to what we can achieve.
