HILARY FLUFF (aka Lance Blakney)
DIRECTOR
Allegedly born from the glittering bloodline of a certain Disney star, Hilary Fluff was destined for the spotlight. From her first strut on stage, it was clear she was a force to be reckoned with.
Hilary is not your average drag queen; a conceptual artist who weaves storytelling into every performance. Whether she's channelling the glamour of old Hollywood or serving up futuristic fantasies, Hilary captivates audiences with her creativity.
With a bias towards the infectious beats and catchy melodies of the 2000's, Hilary lives in a nostalgic era of dance floors and neon lights.
