Jennifer McClain has been performing in Florida for over two decades.

She has become a mainstay in Wilton Manors and has a huge following at The Alibi. Not only she is 2024 Best Local Actor and Best Entertainer, she is also one of our beloved straight allies. She stays busy belting out show tunes, pop standards, gay anthems on the drive and beyond.

Some of the most requested and popular songs are "Defying Gravity" from Wicked, "Seasons of Love" from Rent, and Lily Allen's "Fuck You" with lyrics like: "We're so sick and tired of all the hatred you harbor … Fuck you, Fuck You, Fuck You very much." Lyrics that always struck a chord in the community and resonate even more now in this climate of political and social obscurantism and intolerance. 

In 2023, she played the part of Poodles Makenzie, alongside Eric Swanson as Minnie Bouvèé, in the movie "Big Easy Queens." Set in the steamy, spooky underworld of New Orleans, (and filmed in Wilton Manors) Big Easy Queens is 80 minutes of pure queer horror with original musical numbers, voodoo, zombies, drag queens, and campy neo-giallo delight soaked in blood, gristle, and glitter.

Runner-up for Best Local Actor: Miss Bouvèé

Runner-up for Best Entertainer: Matthew Darren
