Carol Ann-Carol Ann & Sharron Ann Husbands, known together as Clan Ann, are a comedic drag duo celebrated across the Poconos, all of Northeast PA and beyond.
These brassy broads brighten every stage they grace, serving loads of laughs to audiences of all varieties. Their unpredictable comedy and effervescent performance style make them the perfect pair for hosting the Center Stage at Pocono Pride Festival.
