Ginger Johnson Will Bring SHOW PONY on UK Tour

One of the UK’s most celebrated drag queens, Ginger Johnson, is back with a brand new show Show Pony, which will tour across the UK from September 2026 through to February 2027. Tickets are available via pre-sale on Wednesday 10th December with general on sale taking place on Friday 12th December.

You’ve seen her in the MasterChef kitchen… You’ve seen her on the Drag Race runway… Now it's time to see her in her element: outrageous, untamed and completely off the reins.

Following the success of her 2024 tour Ginger Johnson Blows Off!, the nation’s silliest sausage is back on the road with her brand new live spectacular: Show Pony.

Promising high camp, low morals, and double helpings of her trademark ridiculousness, Show Pony is a barnstorming night of whip-smart comedy and top-tier talent that proves why Ginger is one of Britain’s most beloved queens.

Ginger said: “In between whipping up a storm in the MasterChef kitchen, I’ve been busy cooking my brand new live show and I can’t wait to dish it out in theatres up and down the UK in 2026 and beyond!”

As seen recently cooking in full-drag on BBC One’s Celebrity MasterChef, and snatching the crown on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK series 5, Ginger returns to the stage following her critically acclaimed sell-out 2024 solo daredevil show Ginger Johnson Blows Off!. Now in Show Pony, Ginger returns, putting her best hoof forward and prancing into the spotlight to wow audiences nationwide.

On screen, Ginger created and starred in her own genre-bending TV show (Ginger’s House, 2024) which aired on BBC Three and showcased her love of classic British sitcoms alongside her notorious sweet tooth for the ridiculous.
