Who We Are and How We Started... 


 ANR Productions was created in 2005 by April Fresh and Roseanne  DeShanaro, both former Miss Comic Strip Titleholders, because they  wanted to bring a comedy pageant for female impersonators to a  larger audience.  The first Miss Comedy Queen pageant was held in  August of 2005 in Orlando and has grown exponentially over the  years into one of the biggest and most popular drag pageants in the  area for both contestants and audiences alike.  Miss Comedy Queen  continues to grow with the addition of preliminary pageants that are  held all across the state and will have preliminaries across the  country very soon!  In 2007 April and Roseanne set their sights on  another pageant celebrating the plus sized female impersonators in the community.  The first Miss Large & Lovely was held in June of 2007 in Orlando and now is held annually in February.  It has rapidly become of the most talked about pageants for entertainers who weigh over 220 pounds.  Miss Large & Lovely has also seen expansion over the years with the sale of regional preliminaries that are promoted in part by former Miss Large & Lovely titleholders.  With so much interest in this system, the prize packages for the winners have been increased, and we are certain that Miss Large & Lovely will be THE premiere pageant for the plus-sized diva!
In 2010, April and Roseanne named Addison Taylor the official ANR Productions Contestant Coordinator and Goodwill Ambassador for any and all potential contestants and promoters for both systems.  She also oversees the sale of preliminary pageants for both systems.
