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 and Fluffy Soufflé (portrayed respectively by Jean Paul "JP" Kane[2] and 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" in 2016. Fay and Fluffy received the President's Award for Exceptional Achievement from the Ontario Library Association in 2020.[6]

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.[7] It was also selected as a finalist for the 2023 Japan Prize.[8]

The program airs in Canada on Family Jr. and is distributed by Sinking Ship Entertainment.[9]
