The gay holiday season just wouldn’t be the gay holiday season without a performance of drag icons Jinkx Monsoon and BenDeLaCreme jingling your holiday bells. Fortunately, the dynamic duo is setting back out on the road to bring some holiday cheer to all you ho-ho-hos.
The Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Show is about to embark on a 22-city North America tour beginning on November 23. The show promises to give audiences more of what they’ve come to love about these two including brand new songs and plenty of laughs.
“The Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Show will take everything you expect from a drag queen variety show, and spin it on its side. It will test the limits of stupidity while being unexpectedly deep and reflective. We strive for entertainment while always proving that the holidays are for you to celebrate however you want to,” BenDeLaCreme says via press release.
Jinkx added that she can’t wait to be back out on the road again and in front of audiences. “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,” she said. “I’m so lucky to get to experience that each year, and I hope you all will experience it with us.”
The show was written by Jinkx & DeLa and produced by BenDeLaCreme Presents. “Jinkx and I love writing. We are passionate and have something to say. It comes from the heart. Writing and performing as a combo is the best way for us to express what drives us as artists and as humans and fortunately, on top of that, people just happen to think we’re very funny,” added DeLa.
Tickets for the show go on sale today at 10 a.m. PT on the queens’ website. Additional dates in the U.K. will be added in the near future.
