Maddie had an incredible year where she got to push and elevate her drag; she was selected for 1 of the 10 cultural personalities of the year by Radio Canada for her implication of the art of drag and for organizing drag shows in the Pontiac. She has a big personality and she’s also one of the tallest drag queens you will ever meet! \n\n\n\nBianca Allen is a local Ottawa drag artist. Bianca works during the day and transforms to entertainer at night. Bianca has been doing drag in Ottawa since 2019. Bianca started drag in her former home city of Toronto in 1999. Bianca’s drag style is based on female impersonation. Bianca loves to dance\, interact\, and have fun when doing shows.
