Our Special Guests
Varla Jean Merman – MC
We are thrilled to have drag icon and Provincetown legend Varla Jean Merman (aka Jeffery Roberson) back as this year’s MC! After being honored at last year’s Summer Party, Varla is once again bringing her unmatched wit, charm, and fabulousness to the stage.
Catch her brand-new show, The Drowsy Chappell Roan, all summer at the Crown & Anchor!
Poppy Champlin – Auctioneer
A longtime Provincetown staple, Poppy has been serving sharp, upbeat comedy since 2001. Known for her hilarious musical parodies and quick wit, her style blends stand-up with a splash of the unexpected.
As an auctioneer, she’s raised over $75,000 for causes close to her heart. Catch her show You Can’t Stop the Gay this summer – and get ready for a live auction you won’t forget!
