The national tour will run from September 2026 until February 2027, giving fans across the country the chance to see the acclaimed performer in action.

Tickets will be available through pre-sale on Wednesday, December 10, with general sale beginning Friday, December 12 via gingerjohnson.co.uk.

Ginger has made a name for herself with a mix of sharp comedy and outlandish drag, including performances on BBC One’s Celebrity MasterChef and as the winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK series five.
