Ginger Johnson, reigning Queen of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, is coming to London’s Soho Theatre in September for a 3-week season.
Swapping her crown for a crash helmet, Ginger Johnson Blows Off! is her first solo show, and promises to be bursting with stunning looks and cunning stunts, as Ginger asks: how far will one Queen go for a round of applause?
Audiences can expect Ginger’s signature big hair, big heart and big laughs as our Queen swaps her stilettos for safety goggles and the runway for the real world.
Written, directed, and performed by Ginger Johnson, with additional material and original songs by cabaret legends Bourgeois and Maurice, Ginger Johnson Blows Off! promises to showcase whoopee cushions, confetti and 80s power ballads.

Ginger Johnson said in a statement: “Competing on Drag Race was the biggest challenge of my life to date, so it only feels right to follow it up with something even more ridiculous. Ginger Johnson Blows Off! tells the story of what it feels like to have a dream come true and the joy that comes with chasing a new one. It’s about taking risks, pushing limits, living up to expectations… and not taking yourself too seriously in the process!”
Ginger Johnson Blows Off! is playing Soho Theatre from 23 September to 12 October 2024, and is also touring the UK including Bath, Newcastle, Birmingham, Norwich, Leicester, Cambridge, Cardiff, Leeds, Glasgow, Liverpool, Brighton, and Manchester.
