Thank You for Supporting the Second Annual Drag Bingo for St. Brigid's
Thankful for everyone who attended the second annual Drag Bingo for St. Brigid's. Thank you to City Councillor Stéphanie Plante and City Councillor Tim Tierney for their remarkable leadership and efforts in organizing this successful sold-out event.
We are grateful to Maddie Longlegs (@maddie_longlegs_10) and China Doll (@chinadollottawa). for their captivating drag performances and for adding to the joyous atmosphere. Special thanks also go to the sponsors for their generous contributions.
Together, with the collective support of our community, we were able to raise over $1500 for the preservation of the historic Lowertown building. All proceeds from the event supports Capital Feis and St. Brigid's Centre for the Arts.
Maddie Longlegs is a bilingual queen who began doing drag on March 12th, 2022.

She was named one of the 10 Cultural Personalities of the Year by Radio Canada for her involvement in drag. Maddie has a big personality and is also one of the tallest drag queens you will ever meet!
China Doll, an Ottawa-based drag performance artist, community builder, and karaoke impresario, uses her "over the top" drag persona to spread love, joy, and laughter. She incorporates humor into her costumes and performances to spark conversations about queer identity and culture.
