The Fabulous Show with Fay and Fluffy is a Canadian children's television show, which premiered in 2022 on Family Jr.[1]
Hosted by drag entertainers Fay Slift (portrayed by Jean Paul[2] "JP" Kane) and Fluffy Soufflé (portrayed by Kaleb Robertson[3]), the variety preschool series features stories, puppets, animated segments and songs.[4]
The series was created and produced by Lopii Productions, a children's media boutique based in Toronto.[5] The show was inspired by a meeting where creators Rennata and Georgina met JP and Kaleb at their "Fay & Fluffy's Storytime - Drag Queen Storytime in Toronto"[6] in 2016. Fay and Fluffy received the President's Award for Exceptional Achievement from the Ontario Library Association in 2020.[7]
The series received four Canadian Screen Award nominations at the 11th Canadian Screen Awards in 2023, including Best Pre-School Program or Series. It also received the Youth Media Alliance Award of Excellence for Preschool Live Action in 2023.[8] It was also selected as a finalist for the 2023 Japan Prize.[9]
The program airs in Canada on Family Jr and is being distributed by Sinking Ship Entertainment.[10]
