Drag Race legends Jinkx Monsoon and BenDeLaCreme are set to bring their critically acclaimed holiday show back for a 26-city tour.

Starting in London this November, The Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Show will see the queens combine their signature comedy with a number of brand new songs – as well as the annual favourites fans love.

It is written solely by Jinkx and DeLa, with this year marking the duo’s fourth self-written holiday show which will see them visit the UK, US and Canada.

“I think it is important that the show is created BY us, so it’s decidedly FOR us, and those like us,” said Jinkx. “So often, queer and drag stories are written by outsiders, and lack an authenticity that queer audiences crave. Creating the show ourselves, from the ground up, ensures that that authenticity is infused in every aspect of the production.”

Both entertainers have seen immeasurable levels of success since their runs on Drag Race, becoming two of the world’s most well-known drag performers.

Jinkx was recently crowned the Queen of All Queens by RuPaul after emerging victorious from the first-ever all-winners season of the show, while DeLa just finished another run of her Ready to Be Committed solo tour.

“The Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Show is joyous, hilarious, surrealist, communal, and heartwarming,” said DeLa, who also serves as its producer and director.

“Nothing makes me feel more connected to the good in the world than the seas of people we get to celebrate the season with night after night–laughing, cheering, and being in our feelings together.

“I’m so lucky to get to experience that each year, and I hope you all will experience it with us.”

The Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Show runs from 17 November to 30 December. Tickets are available here.
