Drag stars Fay Slift + Fluffy Soufflé have been doing drag storytimes together since June 2016. Their special events focus on books, songs and include lots of laughs to show guests of all ages that Reading is FUN-damental! They especially want to support families with LGBTQ2S parent(s) and gender variant children, and read culturally diverse books, by providing a supportive and inclusive environment focused on fun.
In 2022 their television show The Fabulous Show with Fay & Fluffy began airing on Family Jr, now also airing on Family. The show invites young audiences to come to watch their storytime cabaret for kids and families; inspiring a love of reading and encouraging messages of choosing kindness and empathy towards one another through community, story, song, and silliness! They have now finished filming a second season, to be aired in the Fall.
With some big wigs and wild and colourful outfits, Fay & Fluffy bring lots of sparkle to every show, getting kids excited to read, learn and laugh. Fay & Fluffy’s main goal is to share the message of inclusivity wherever they go, cheering on all the kids who see them be proud of who they are, loving themselves, and being kind to one another.
