Mimi Osa tries to determine the exact qualities that make someone queer "enough"...through the power of comedy!
It's "How Queer Are You?" 2: Electric Boogaloo! She's doing it again baby! Kingston drag legend and Toronto "nobody" Mimi Osa is back for another round of her absolutely hilarious comedy and drag event where she aims to find out just how queer these five new performers really are. Through tried and tested methods that don't involve physical touch for once, Mimi will quantify and validate the identity of each guest performer once they've had a chance to take the stage to really show off why they have those several impassioned instagram followers. What makes her the arbiter of what's hip with the alphabet mafia? Who knows! But she needs to use her Gender Studies degree somehow! Expect humorous lipsyncing, brief moments of tender human interaction, and a whole lot of laughs. September 9th at Hail Mary on College Street!
Mimi Osa has been performing in drag for over a decade, and was instrumental in building a now thriving and diverse drag community in Kingston, Ontario where she produced a monthly one-woman show titled Off the Record. Since moving to Toronto, her proudest achievement was this year's private Pride month video performance to Brave by Sara Bareilles meant for a group of seven gay teen orphans, which turned out to be a total scam. It's the thought that counts.
Allysin Chaynes is not new to the Toronto drag scene but will be tackling the world of comedy next, performing a standup set out of drag. In drag, you can often find her at the Bovine Sex Club on Wednesday nights for Pussy Whipped Wednesdays.
Cameron Crookston is a Toronto based comedian and professional homosexual. When he's not on stage he's trying to come up with a better second line in his bio.
Carly Rae Stepson might be new to Toronto's drag scene but she has already become a celebrated regular at Anthony Oliveira's Dumpster Raccoon at the Revue Cinema performing drag tributes to everything from Barbarella to those two weird scenes in the 90s Captain America movie where he steals a car. She was also a featured performer at the 2025 WTFestival's Impossible Cabaret.
Gomorrah is a drag entity new to the Toronto scene, but has been working as a performer in New York City. They've been a frequent co-host of the show La Boix in the hottest queer cesspit known to thing(s) - Brooklyn!
Sandy Joint is your regularly scheduled Saturday morning cartoons! With an affinity for The Muppets and creating spaces for sober people to have fun too, he's recently been exploring the craft of puppet making!
Doors open at 7pm, 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!
