From the moment it first hit the stage in 2016, Shady Queens sashayed straight into the spotlight as one of Fife House’s most beloved and celebrated fundraising events. Year after year, drag royalty from the RuPaul’s Drag Race global pantheon and Toronto’s own local queens have served up a night of glitter, sass, razor sharp wit and humour, and jaw-dropping lip sync and live performances. Shady Queens isn’t just entertainment – it is glamour with purpose and heart, raising vital funds for Fife House’s supportive housing programs and services for people and families living with HIV/AIDS. Since it began, the Shady Queens stage has welcomed a star-studded lineup including Alaska 5000, Bob the Drag Queen, Jinkx Monsoon, Violet Chacki, Trixie Mattel, Katya, Courtney Act, Willam, Ginger Minj, Sharon Needles, Shea Coulee, Vanessa Vanjie Mateo, Pangina Heals, Nicky Doll, Silky Nutmeg Ganache, Priyanka, The Virgo Queen, Icesis Couture, and more.
For SHADY QUEENS 2026: UNAPOLOGETIC, Fife House is pleased to announce a jaw-dropping lineup of iconic queens. Hold on to your wigs Toronto and get ready to welcome Trinity The Tuck, Miss Vanjie, Gawdland, Miz Cracker and Van Goth!
