My Big Gay "Gay Camp" Talent Show is inspired by the play Gay Camp by Philip Mutz and Susan-Kate Heaney.

Gay Camp most recently played a run at the Crown and Anchor in Provincetown last summer. The show also played the Duplex Cabaret Theatre in NYC from August 2013 - April 2014 and has toured to Cherry's on the Bay in Fire Island, Interplayers Theatre in Spokane, and Mirabar in Providence.

Gay Camp was initially part of the 2012 New York International Fringe Festival and ran from August 11 - August 22 at the HERE Mainstage Theatre in SoHo.

Following its initial run, Gay Camp received the Overall Excellence Award from FringeNYC for "Best Ensemble 2012", and was selected as one of 19 shows (out of the 187 Fringe shows) to receive an extension as part of Fringe's Encore Series (subsequently playing at the Players' Theatre).

The production starred Mansfield, Urso, and Mutz playing more than a dozen different zany characters, and was also directed by Phillip Fazio.

Juicy Liu is brand new to the New York drag scene and fresh off of her first place finish in the 2015 So You Think You Can Drag competition. Juicy has performed at gay bars throughout the city, and looks forward to hosting her own upcoming show at New World Stages in July 2016.

Strawberry is best known in the drag community for her stunning vocals, comedy chops, and classic take on drag. She was a finalist in the 2015 So You Think You Can Drag competition and currently performs all over New York City.
