A comical holiday drag show featuring big talent is touring through Kelowna, Penticton and Kamloops this month.
The Real HouseElves of the North Pole show promises “sultry elves, sexier numbers and salacious food,” according to a media release.
Put on by the Rebellious Unicorns, the show is packed with local and out-of-province talents starring headliners Ella Lamoureux, Toddy and Felicia Bonee.
“Unsure if you are on the naughty or nice list?” said executive producer Dustyn Baulkham in the release. “Come find out with these three talented beauties, as I am certain they will definitely let you know!”
Ella Lamoureux, Toddy and Felicia Bonee were contestants on last year’s 39th season of OutTV’s new drag reality series Call Me Mother, with Toddy crowned the inaugural champion.
Lamoureux is one of the founding performers of the Kelowna drag scene, performing on Kelowna’s Next Drag Superstar drag competition, Embodiment, #2muffs1collr, and most recently starring on Call Me Mother.
“A makeup artist by trade, Ella will eternally tease you with her beauty,” Baulkham said. “But, watch out if you displease her, that tongue is quick and sharper than you think. She’s generally ‘as sweet as cherry pie’ and brings so much love and joy to the community.”

Toddy is a high energy drag performer, stand-up comedian and singer-songwriter, most recently the winner of Call Me Mother.
As a comedian, Toddy has been featured on CBCLOL, JFL42, JFL Northwest and the Portland Queer Comedy Festival.
“Trained as an opera singer, they often find themselves at the intersect of classical music and mainstream media,” said Baulkham. “They are the number one shrill icon.”
It will be the first time Felicia Bonee will be performing in Kelowna.
“A fierce trans queen with a heart of gold, Bonnee is an outspoken activist and regular on the Alberta drag circuit,” Baulkham said. “Felicia is here to turn a look, turn a lip sync and turn the party.”
