TESS TICKLE

Tess Tickle

Drag Mother to Kita Mean & Anita Wiglit - Tess first started drag back in the 1990’s when she moved to Australia, where she went on to become the darling of Sydney’s competitive drag scene. Tess was a full-time, DIVA Award-winning showgirl at The Imperial Hotel, (Home of Priscilla) The Midnight Shift, Stonewall Hotel and Arq. 

Returning back to NZ in 2010 and working alongside her Drag Sister Buckwheat, these Maori/Pacific diva’s are still in high demand and have been guiding a new generation of Queens to carry on their legacy.

“Priscilla, the movie has always had a special place in my heart as I was living those moments when the movie came out. To get the chance to visit one of the most iconic towns in the movie and to have a drag festival included, is the icing on the cake. I’m so honoured to be part of the Broken Heel Family for their 2024 Festival. I cant wait to party with you all”
