Tania LeCoq (Drag performer) - Drag Tales Host - 2pm - 3pm
Tania LeCoq, not to be confused with anything naughty, but she sure likes to get INvolved! Tania loves to lube up the audience, she’s a queen of the people, she’s funny, she dances, but above it all she is just a ball of energy, bigger than her make-up, taller than her heels is indeed her personality.
