The stage is set, the spotlight is ready, and the excitement is palpable as Texas Entertainer of the Year, F.I. 2025 takes center stage on Sunday, September 21, 2025, at the iconic Rose Room inside S4 in Dallas, Texas. This dazzling competition, a direct preliminary to the nationally renowned Entertainer of the Year, F.I. pageant held annually in Louisville, Kentucky, promises to be an unforgettable evening celebrating the art of female impersonation and the vibrancy of the LGBTQ+ community.
As a fitting conclusion to the Dallas Pride festivities on the Cedar Springs strip, this year’s event will honor Texas Entertainer of the Year, F.I. 2024, Vivien Vee Lauren, as she passes the crown to her successor. The evening will also feature performances by Entertainer of the Year, F.I. 2024, Genesis, and the legendary Texas EOY Emeritus, Tasha Kohl. Hosting the night’s festivities will be none other than the incomparable Celeste Martinez, bringing her signature charm and wit to the event.
Under the leadership of Bishop Mark Zorn of Dallas Universal Life Church, now in his second year as director, Texas Entertainer of the Year, F.I. 2025 aims to uplift and empower the LGBTQ+ community during a critical time. Bishop Zorn emphasizes, “This year’s competition is more than a celebration of talent and artistry; it’s a declaration of resilience and unity in the face of ongoing attacks on our community by Texas and national lawmakers. We stand proud, strong, and unapologetically ourselves.”
