Lamp! Camera! Cruel! Superstar female impersonation Craig Russell and the birth of drag on the international stage.

Craig Russell is an admired artist and actress, known for his outrageous impersonations of some of Hollywood’s greatest female stars: Mae West, Barbra Streisand, Bette Midler, Carol Channing and Judy Garland, plus some people. Lori Russell Eadie, a shy theater lover, is Craig’s number one fan and ultimately his wife.

Together, they’re fun, awesome, and away from convention. But behind the scenes, Craig and Lori’s lives are troubled by mental health, drug addiction, sexual assault, and abuse.

Through nearly 100 interviews and extensive research, Outrageous Misfits reveals the life and legacy of one of the world’s most famous impersonators and his biggest fans.

Thank you Brian Bradley. I was born and raised in Toronto. This is like going back in time to me. I remember seeing the excess at the New Yorker and Craig in the Royal Room. What a time we had! I’m so glad Craig will be remembered.
