The first-place winner gets a $150 State Theatre gift certificate and the second-place winner gets a State Theatre swag bag.

Myles is the 2014 Cycle 4 winner of Mimi Imurst’s Philly Drag Wars, and earned the title of Best Drag Hostess in Philadelphia in 2014 at the Beacon Lights Awards after successfully producing a series of comedy shows.

Myles produces weekly shows in New York City and is known to make guest appearances throughout Philadelphia, Connecticut, and New Jersey.

In 2019, Myles partnered with the streaming news app Happs to cover Donald Trump’s impeachment. Donning a red mini dress and a patriotic updo, Myles caused a stir on Capitol Hill, leading to stories from The Washington Post, NBC, and The New York Post. She received thoughtful words of support from actress Missi Pyle, George Takei, and RuPaul. She has also reported at the democratic debates for Happs, interviewing presidential hopefuls Kamala Harris and Cory Booker.
