During Reign XXX he was awarded the Lifetime Title of Duke XXX. ICOM is one of his favorite organizations within the great state of Minnesota because they continually give back and support other organizations within the State.

Grand Duchess XXXI
Madame Self
Madame Self discovered her name during her divorce, when she went around saying, “I guess I’ll have to do it all by my damn self,” and she did.
While raising three kids and working full time as a social worker, she had that name slapped on a jersey and skated on a local recreational roller derby league until she damaged her foot and had to hang up her skates. Missing the lights, adrenaline and cute outfits, Madame went in search of something to fill that roller derby shaped hole in her life and found stand up comedy.
Joining this Royal Family of the Imperial Court of Minnesota gives Madame the opportunity to merge her passion for LGBTQIA+ activism with her love of performing stand up comedy.

Duke XXXI
Tristan Wilde
I am Tristan Wilde. Pronouns he/him/his. I have been performing as a male entertainer for almost 4 years. I have held the title of MR. NSGRA 2021 and am the current MR Club Scooters in Wisconsin. I am someone who will put on a great show and help whenever I can. I am ready to see what this year will bring with how to help the court.
