They say you have to kiss a lot of frogs to find your prince, but how many toads do you have to lick to find your pony? Join Drag Race Superstar and Celebrity Masterchef Champion, Ginger Johnson, on a surprisingly psychedelic adventure into the outer reaches of her tiny little mind, as she gallops through the cosmos in search of love, light and the little horse that got away. Packed full of whip-smart comedy and chaos, Show Pony is soundtracked by original songs that sound like they're astral projecting straight into your ears from the radio of a 1970s VW camper – think Janis Joplin… if she was a geordie. Following her 2024 tour Ginger Johnson Blows Off!, Ginger Johnson is back on the road with a brand new show.
