Spankie Jackzon

Spankie Jackzon is born November 4, 1984, a New Zealand drag performer whose stadium-sized personality and razor-sharp comedy took her from the small-town New Zealand circuit to global drag stardom. She began performing in drag around 2005, later moved to Melbourne where at one point she held eight simultaneous residencies, and won Season 2 of the New Zealand television series House of Drag in 2020, earning the title of "The Brightest Star." She then went on to win Season 2 of RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under in 2022, and returned to the franchise in 2024 as a judge — one of a small handful of Drag Race alumnae to make that jump.
