Peppermint,one of New York's hottest young drag stars, will continue to wow you with her live vocals and aerobic dance moves. While she's known in the nightclubs for her dance single "Servin' it up", her song list also includes pop, rock, and Broadway standards.
"Peppermint can actually sing and lip-sync, and she has a wide array of bodacious moves, not just the two TIna Turner ones most drag queens trot out. Plus she's quick but never mean, sassy but not [bitchy]. Her "Buffalo Stance," complete with robot moves through the audience, is astounding" -Michael Musto, Village Voice
