About[]

Anita is the owner and resident queen of Auckland's famous Caluzzi Cabaret and co-host of the TVNZ show House of Drag as well as the monthly comedy show Drag Wars.

Over the last decade she has wiggled her way into the hearts of many, winning both Vancouver’s Next Top Drag Superstar and Drag Entertainer of the year in 2013, before returning to Auckland. Her favourite performances to date include Mardi Gras (Sydney 2016 and 2019) as well as Adele’s world tour after party in 2017.[2]

Drag Name Origin[]

"When I was studying Music at University I had a part-time job at Auckland Live (the Theatre Venues in Auckland). I went in drag to the work Christmas party one year (back in 2008!) and my friend / date / Drag King to the party named us Lord and Lady Wigl’it. I added Anita in front and that’s how I was born!"[3]
