What do you get when you mix drag legends, pop culture icons, Drag Race fan faves and just a dash of Kathy Griffin? One hell-of-a-good-time, that’s what.
Griffin joined the cast of Women Behind Bars at the Montalban Theater in Hollywood over the weekend, giving a special introduction before the show.
The camp classic features an all-star drag cast — Coco Peru, Ginger Minj, Poppy Fields, Chi Chi DeVayne and Eureka O’Hara — as well as Traci Lords (Cry Baby, Blade), John Waters’ star Mink Stole (Pink Flamingos, Hairspray), Suzie Kennedy (Marilyn Monroe tribute artist), Tatiana Monteiro and adult film star Wesley Woods.
Griffin fit right in, posing for photos backstage with the cast:

Women Behind Bars is presented by “Just Pow!” Productions and runs through February 2 at the Montalban Theater in Hollywood.
