One of the UK’s most celebrated drag queens, Ginger Johnson, is heading to Bournemouth Pavilion this October with her brand-new live show, Show Pony, as part of a major UK tour running from September 2026 through to February 2027.
You’ve seen her in the MasterChef kitchen. You’ve seen her on the RuPaul’s Drag Race UK runway. Now, it’s time to see Ginger Johnson in her natural habitat: outrageous, untamed and completely off the reins.
Following the explosive success of her smash-hit 2024 tour, Ginger Johnson Blows Off!, the nation’s silliest sausage is back on the road with a brand new spectacular packed with high camp, low morals and double helpings of her trademark ridiculousness.
Show Pony promises a barnstorming night of whip-smart comedy, outrageous antics and top-tier talent, showcasing exactly why Ginger has become one of Britain’s most beloved drag queens.
Ginger Johnson said: “In between whipping up a storm in the MasterChef kitchen, I’ve been busy cooking my brand new live show and I can’t wait to dish it out in theatres up and down the UK in 2026 and beyond!”
Audiences will recognise Ginger from her recent appearance cooking in full drag on BBC One’s Celebrity MasterChef, as well as her triumphant victory on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK series 5. Now, following her critically acclaimed, sell-out 2024 solo show Ginger Johnson Blows Off!, she’s returning to the stage, putting her best hoof forward and prancing into the spotlight once again.
With a reputation for combining daredevil antics with outrageous comedy, Ginger has earned rave reviews from critics across the UK. The List described her as “an unholy drag spawn of Evel Knievel, Lucille Ball and Danny La Rue”, while Culture Fix praised her “deliciously camp silliness”. The Recs called her shows “irreverent and escapist fun”, with Theatre Weekly hailing her as “a stellar comedic performance”.
Get ready for an evening of big laughs, bigger personality and plenty of Ginger Johnson-style chaos when Show Pony arrives at Bournemouth Pavilion.
