Chicago, IL -
Camp Wannakiki, a new drag reality show created and produced by Chicagoans Ashley and Brandon Wright, is now airing on YouTube.
The premise is simple...take eight drag queens to see who can last the week at an actual Summer Camp and claim the crown "Queen of Camp!" This hilarious new show features eight of the campiest campers in the Midwest ...O'laysia (Chicago, IL), Dominique DeGrant (Eau Claire, WI), Vajay J Snappinturtle (Madison, WI), Pagan Holladay (Milwaukee, WI), Sylvia Nixx (Milwaukee, WI), Alexis Bevels (Chicago, IL), Muffy Fishbasket (Chicago, IL) and C'est Kevvie (Chicago, IL), along with kooky Camp Counselor Dear Ruthie and Camp Directors Apple Brown Betty and Cherry Pi!
Each episode reprises a day at camp, where campers perform various activities best suited for 10 year olds, as opposed to grown-ass drag queens. Tune in for the hilarity that ensues.
This entertaining competition keeps the focus on fun and friendship, while giving drama and backstabbing the cold shoulder, as was the goal of the Wrights.
The Wrights are real life twin brothers and drag life twin sisters Apple Brown Betty and Cherry Pi Sugarbaker. The twins are also co-owners of Hamburger Mary's International, and were recently featured on the hit CBS show, "Undercover Boss." Going on 20 locations, Mary's is known not only for their gourmet burgers, but also for putting on great drag shows across the country.
