Texas Entertainer of the Year
Texas Entertainer of the Year F.I.
Texas Entertainer of the Year F.I. is a premier competition celebrating the diverse and dynamic talents of female impersonators across the state. Dedicated to fostering a supportive and inclusive environment, Texas Entertainer of the Year F.I. provides a platform for entertainers to showcase their artistry and compete for the opportunity to represent Texas at the national level.
Texas Entertainer of the Year is a direct preliminary to National Entertainer of the Year. Texas Entertainer of the Year FI began in 1991 and crowned its emeritus, Tasha Kohl who went on to take the crown for National Entertainer of the Year in the same year. Texas Entertainer of the Year boasts a list of contestants and winners of the Texas A-List of female impersonators over the years.
In 2019, long time flight attendant, realtor, and LGBTQ+ activist, John Buchanan became the promoter of Texas EOY and held the 2020 Texas EOY FI and for the first time ever, the 2020 Mr. Texas EOY competition in Houston, Texas. In August of 2021, John Buchanan was admitted to the hospital with the Delta variant of the COVID-19 Virus which eventually took his life on September 2, 2021. He was only 57.
Texas EOY went dark for the next several years as COVID-19 continued to turn the world upside down. In 2023, Mark Zorn, a longtime LGBTQ+ advocate from Dallas and widower to female impersonator, the late Sheri Powers of Dallas, and Oklahoma City, stepped up to become the new promoter of Texas EOY.. Before Sheri’s death in 2010, Mark was active in every aspect of Sheri’s career as a female impersonator, refusing to ever watch from the sidelines.
Texas EOY FI returned to the competition, building on the foundation of its rich history of arguably, some of the best of the best in female impersonation, with a new, dedicated, and eager leader at the helm on May 30, 2024, in Dallas, Texas in The Rose Room at S4.
