Gila Münster

Gila Münster (she/her) is Toronto's cross-dressing, cross-stitching Jewish American Princess. Since 2019, Gila has entertained audiences in unconventional venues such as libraries, schools, unions, corporate events, universities, temples, community centers, and more. Her first performance was a “Jew-Paul’s Drag Race” show in the Toronto Gay Village, and since then she has sold out shows across the city, and even in other provinces.

In November 2023, Gila was awarded the Mayworks Festival of Working People and the Arts Creative Maverick Award for her dedication to promoting working people through the arts. In June 2023 she was selected to march with the Toronto Public Library in the Toronto Pride Parade, protesting censorship in front of 2.4 million spectators.

Outside of drag, Gila holds a BA from York University, a Project Management Professional (PMP) designation from the Project Management Institute, and is a current JD candidate at Queen’s University in Kingston, ON.  

Besides being a talented queen, Gila is a trained makeup artist, an award-winning slam poetry champion, a live singer, standup comic and public speaker. She is also an avid cross-stitch textile artist, designing original patterns and selling reproductions, which have received "Best In Show" awards two years in a row at the Markham Fair.
