Drag queen Ginger Johnson returns to the stage with her cabaret and comedy show 'Show Pony' at the New Theatre Royal.
Ginger Johnson brings her new show Show Pony to the New Theatre Royal on Friday 22 January 2027, starting at 7:30pm. It's her first time back on the stage since her 2024 tour Ginger Johnson Blows Off!, and this one is billed as high camp, low morals and whip-smart comedy.
If you've come across her name but aren't sure where to place her, Johnson is one of the UK's most celebrated drag queens, and she's as much at home in the MasterChef kitchen as she is on the Drag Race runway. She shot to international stardom after winning RuPaul's Drag Race UK series five, and since then she's been performing for theatre-goers, festival crowds and Pride revellers all over the world. She works as both a cabaret artist and a theatre maker, so Show Pony sits right in that space between the two.
Coming off the back of that 2024 tour, Show Pony is the next chapter. The description — high camp, low morals and whip-smart comedy — gives you a good sense of what to expect: a night that leans into the theatrical side of drag, with the comedy taking centre stage. It's a solo show, so it's just her up there for the evening.
