Bea Effay is a New York City drag performer known for timeless silhouettes, expressive glamour, and a presence that’s equal parts elegance and ease. With a style rooted in classic showgirl drag and a personality that never rushes the moment, Bea brings warmth, wit, and polish to every stage she steps on.
This is drag that knows when to sparkle — and when to let the room breathe.
Bea Effay (yes, like BFA) is a NYC-based drag queen whose work lives at the intersection of vintage glamour, theatrical storytelling, and quiet comedy. Her performances lean classic, her aesthetic leans editorial, and her humor sneaks up on you — gentle, knowing, and always intentional.
Whether she’s serving high camp, a perfectly timed lip sync, or a soft-spoken moment that pulls the audience in, Bea is a performer who understands restraint as power.
Bea Effay has performed across New York City in bars, salons, and curated stage shows, often alongside drag family and collaborators including Selma Nilla and Plasma. Her drag draws inspiration from old-school showgirls, Broadway icons, and the kind of theatrical polish that never goes out of style.
