Mr Gay World Andreas Derleth New Zealand's Mr Gay World Andreas Derleth will rub shoulders with pageant participants of a rather different variety when he appears as a special guest at the final-ever Queen of the Whole Universe pageant in July. After nine years of high jinks the event will come to a close with QWU 2012, the last hurrah. Describing the German-born Derleth as “the porcelain Adonis,” the QWU organisers say they are honoured to have him as part of their final ceremony. The 2012 pageant will finally feature Miss Fiji, who has previously had trouble getting in to the country. There will also be a third MC Brad Hills, and a special dedication to Whitney Houston, Donna Summer and Amy Winehouse. The event will also seek to once again break its own Guinness World Record for “Largest Onstage Drag Show”. QUEEN OF THE WHOLE UNIVERSE plays Saturday 21st July 2012 – 8pm ASB Theatre, Aotea Centre, THE EDGE, Auckland Bookings: 0800 BUY TICKETS or www.buytickets.co.nz Tickets: $20-$79 (plus booking fees) with discounts offered for group bookings.
