The outrageous beauty pageant spoof, “Best In Drag Show” â?? a benefit for Aid For AIDS in California, returns to The Orpheum Theatre on October 9, 2011. The highly anticipated, annual fundraiser will be opened by comedienne Kathy Griffin and has a hilarious cast of drag contestants who compete in traditional beauty and talent categories.  The legendary show always has a roster of celebrity judges, and the benefit has raised millions of dollars for Aid For AIDS, which was founded in 1983.
