Ever want to talk about something, but felt you couldn't? You can now! In her new show, CONE OF SILENCE!, Miss Richfield 1981 opens the discussion up to all forbidden topics -- family problems, medical issues, politics, religion. We’re only as sick as our secrets, so when she lowers the Cone of Silence, anything goes. Anything!

With a unique combination of Midwestern sensibilities and off-the-page humor, MISS RICHFIELD 1981 has quickly become one of America's most beloved drag stars. Her rich history begins with a life-long goal of being crowned beauty queen of her first-ring suburb of Minneapolis (hometown of her creator, Russ King). Since winning the title of Miss Richfield in 1981, she has continued to promote the values and principles of Richfield, Minnesota, "where butter is a spice and gravy is a beverage." As well as performing sell-out performances throughout the country, Miss R has earned a reputation as one of the most successful acts in Provincetown (along with Varla Jean Merman and Dina Martina). Miss Richfield's national appeal includes riotous appearances on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno", "Today" on NBC, "Cake Boss" on TLC, and, most recently, as a television spokesperson for Orbitz and the City of Philadelphia. Miss R invites you to join her online at www.MissRichfield.com, where she keeps a calendar of events and shares words of wisdom, such as her favorite Bible verse: "It's important to be nice, but it's nicer to be important."
