MEET OUR ENTERTAINERS!
2026 MR. THIRD COAST LEATHER CONTEST

A celebration of leather, creativity, individuality, and community deserves a little DRAMA! Misfits Houston is thrilled to welcome three fabulous entertainers to the stage for the 2026 Mr. Third Coast Leather Contest!

VIVA VIDALIA

A performer and designer who has always followed her creative calling, Viva Vidalia brings versatility, artistry, and authenticity to everything she does. For Viva, performance and design aren't just a career; they're an extension of who she is.

As a q***r, fat, femme, gender-nonconforming artist, Viva has faced challenges in an industry that doesn't always offer everyone the same opportunities or respect. Rather than allowing those barriers to define her, she kept creating, performing, and building her place in the spotlight. Her story reminds us that individuality is a strength and that making space for yourself can help change the stage for others, too!

MARI JANE — THE QUEEN OF THE GREEN

Houston's own Mari Jane is the reigning Miss Gay Brazos Valley America 2026! You can also catch her hosting Mari's Hotbox at Ripcord Bar every third Thursday. We're excited to welcome this fabulous queen to the Mr. Third Coast Leather stage!

LANA BLAKE — A HOUSTON LIVING LEGEND

With approximately 35 years of entertaining experience, Lana Blake has made her mark on Houston's drag scene. Known for her unforgettable characters, sharp wit, and captivating performances, Lana knows how to connect with an audience and keep everyone hanging on every word. We're honored to have this local legend join our celebration!

Three entertainers. Three unique styles. One unforgettable weekend!

Join Misfits Houston as we celebrate the people, creativity, and diversity that make our LGBTQ+ and leather communities so special.
