FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Florida officials are investigating a traveling Christmas-themed drag show the state claims was advertised to children despite warnings on the ticketing site that the event contained adult themes and single minors weren't allowed.

Bryan Griffin, a spokesperson for Gov. Ron DeSantis, tweeted Tuesday that "A Drag Queen Christmas" held Dec. 26 at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts is under active investigation.

The show, hosted by "RuPaul's Drag Race" alumna Nina West and others, contains performances and comedy routines that are described as adult in nature.

"Admission is limited to patrons 18 years of age or over, unless accompanied by a parent," reads a warning on the Fort Lauderdale event page. The Miami New Times reports the show contains off-color bits like "T*** in a Box" and "Screwdolph the Red-Nippled Reindeer."
