Featuring reigning laughter legend Jenny Nuclear – your current Miss Virginia Is For Laughter 2025
This pageant is so much more than a competition —it’s a family I’ve been building with heart, hustle, and a whole lot of hairspray for the past four years. Every rhinestone, every idea, every moment has come from a place of pure love—for the underrepresented, for the drag comminuty, for comedy, for the 757 queer community and for the beautiful national community that surrounds it.
Comedy Queen is more than just a title—it’s a family. A space where every performer is celebrated not just for their talent, but for their heart, humor, and uniqueness. Whether you’re stepping into the spotlight for the first time or you’ve been making people laugh in heels for decades, you belong here.
Creating a space where joy, laughter, and community come first has been my biggest goal—and seeing it come to life is one of the proudest moments of my life. If you’ve ever felt like you didn’t quite fit in, I promise—you do here.
Come be a part of something special. Something sparkly. Something funny, often funny looking
With love,
Maria Rose
