What is the best part of Thanksgiving? The leftovers, of course! In the spirit of the season, RuPaul's Drag Race favorite GINGER MINJ has graciously offered to share her leftovers with us as we officially kick off the holidays. Join Ginger for a little bit of this, a little bit of that, and a whole lot of music and fun. GINGER MINJ'S THANKSGIVING LEFTOVERS will run November 23 - 25 at 7pm at at The Laurie Beechman Theatre (inside West Bank Cafe at 407 West 42nd Street -- at Ninth Avenue).

GINGER MINJ has long reigned as The Comedy Queen of The South, with the pageant titles, including “Miss Gay United States 2013,” “Miss National Comedy Queen 2012” and others. Originally from Leesburg, Florida, she now calls Orlando home. Minj cites classic funny ladies Carol Burnett and Lucille Ball as her idols. “Anyone who can pile three wigs on their head, squeeze their body into a beaded and rhinestoned gown and serve humor alongside the glamour is my hero,” says Ginger. Ginger’s future career goal is to follow in the footsteps of similar plus-sized comedians like Melissa McCarthy and Rebel Wilson. And she’s already got the acting credits; before becoming Ginger Minj, this talented performer was a child actor starring in a series of Christian movies and books on tape, and even won a Best Actor Award for the state of Florida in 2002. Her debut album Sweet T was released in September 2016.
