The hostess with mostest. Mary K Mart opened her drag doors 6 years ago with “Trailer Park Prize Night” at Flex. This one woman show quickly became the hit of the triangle. Thus began the touring show by the same name featuring Mary, Winnie Baygo and Minnie Mart. The group began to produce commercials aired throughout the night at Flex and eventually decided to embark upon a movie making career. The amazing outcome: “CAMP the Movie” coauthored and starring Mary K Mart the film was a hit at the NC Gay and Lesbian Film Festival.

     Mary has been a resident of the Triangle for the past twelve years and is a native of West Virginia – where she claims to have, “learned all there is to know about trailer park drag!” Needless to say, we are glad she is here with us now! This amazing woman and showman is a welcome addition to the scene in the Triangle. She IS Drag Bingo. Over the past four years Mary has led the cast of Drag Bingo, taking this small event from small to h-u-g-e! Drag Bingo, under Mary’s watchful eye has raised almost $150,000 for The Alliance of AIDS Services – Carolina (AAS-C)!

“This epidemic affects us all,” says Mary K Mart, “We all know someone in our lives that is affected by the letters HIV.” And now Mary is onstage leading the fight! She asks us all to give our best and pledges to, “continue playing Drag Bingo until this plague is over!”

According to John Paul Womble, Mary’s Drag Bingo co-host and the Director of Development and Public Affairs for AAS-C, “I love Mary, in fact if she was a man – I’d marry him!”
