Lady Bunny performing at The Academy

POUGHKEEPSIE – Lady Bunny, an international drag queen legend brought her “Pig in a Wig” show to a full house at The Academy in Poughkeepsie on Saturday night.  The 60-year-old was born in North Carolina as John Ingle and has had an affinity for performing all of her life, she said.

Lady Bunny, who is rarely seen in public without women’s clothes, despite being a man, gave an energetic performance that drew an audience of both straight and gay patrons, to the delight of promoter Jimmy Prada of OutLoud Hudson Valley.

The audience at shows in the Hudson Valley, Prada said, typically has attendees of all sexual orientations and attributed it to the diversity of the Hudson Valley.  He pointed out that in 2004 New Paltz Mayor Jason West performed the first gay marriage ceremonies in the country.  “The Hudson Valley is truly diverse,” Prada said.
