About this Event
"How Queer Are You?" Presented by Mimi Osa
Careful! She spreads easily! Kingston drag legend and Toronto "nobody" Mimi Osa is finally ready to bring her special brand to the Queen city, returning to the stage from her brief semi-retirement. Those closest to her have described her as "uncomfortably abrasive", "needlessly unrelenting", and Toronto's own HQ has noted she's "completely infectious"!
In this new show, each performer will take the stage to (hopefully) inflict laughter on an audience held hostage - I mean, captivated! Expect stand-up, sketch comedy, comedic lip sync numbers, and a foolish game or two (No Jewel involved). Join Mimi as she embarks on a quest to quantify and validate the queerness of four lucky performers - she does have a degree in Gender Studies, after all. Do they have a Sphynx cat for a pet? Do they own Tegan & Sara's "Sainthood" on vinyl? Have they completed treatment for an STI in the past 2-4 weeks? All these questions and more will help Mimi and the audience to determine just how queer these people really are!
Hilary Yass is a multi-award winning stand up, sketch and improv comedy drag queen comedienne. She mixes the Golden Girls with Carol Burnett, but rarely at the same time - and is also her own secretary! With improv talent, sketch writing panache, and stand-up comedy chops, this tireless self-producer has created many LGBTQ+ improv, sketch and comedy shows! Appearing on Season 4 of OutTV’s Camp Wannakiki along with other famous drag performers she ended up placing as a RUNNER-UP! Other credits include Just For Laughs Toronto, The Toronto Sketch Comedy Festival, and GayAF Comedy.
Coyote Ugly is a magic spewing, space age drifting, witchy bastard, born and baptized in cigarette smoke, brought to Toronto for one purpose: to bite the hand that feeds.As the World's Premier Psychic, Necromancer, and Liar, Coyote has had the privilege of performing in and out of the village, as well as co-hosting and producing “Kings of Kensington” and Toronto Fringe 2025 favourite “Frathaus: EVICTED!”
Peter Knegt is one accomplished homosexual! He's been hosting the CBC series "Here & Queer" since 2022, which celebrates the work of LGBTQ+ artists through unfiltered conversations. He also curates the film screening series "Queer Cinema Club" with the Paradise Theatre in Toronto, coming up on its 69th edition this April.
Sucka Queen is a Toronto-based drag performer known for hosting high-energy events including drag brunches, trivia, and crazy chaotic themed shows! With Sucka, you never quite know what you're gonna get - and that's a good thing!
Mimi Osa has been performing in drag for over a decade, and was instrumental in building a now thriving diverse drag community in Kingston, Ontario where she produced shows of all kinds before relocating to Toronto. Mimi made history as the first drag queen to perform at the Royal Military College of Canada, became the poster girl for the 2018 ReelOut Queer Film Festival, and had a string of very successful and very sold out one-woman shows called "Off the Record" before her departure from the Limestone city.
Show starts at 8pm.
*If you're a queer identified comic or performer of any kind and would like to see yourself represented on a future lineup, send Mimi a DM on Instagram: @mimiosaqueen. She's always looking for fresh talent to exploit!
**If ticket cost is a barrier to access, please let the organizer know and they can make an attempt to accommodate.
