Bianca Del Rio, otherwise known as Roy Haylock, is a dimple-cheeked, larger-than-life drag queen and outrageous comic who isn\u2019t afraid to shock and offend. When it comes to insult comics, Bianca is in a class by herself. Fierce, funny, and fabulous, she has sandblasted her name in the annals of pop culture on RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race. Thanks to her snarky frankness, impeccable timing, and politically incorrect humor, she became the show\u2019s breakout star, winning its sixth season. Dubbed the \u201cJoan Rivers of the Drag World\u201d (The New York Times), there isn\u2019t anything Bianca is afraid to say. A self-professed \u201cclown in a gown\u201d, Bianca is quick to point out that she is the biggest joke of all. She is the most followed queen from Drag Race, and has accumulated over 2.5 million Instagram followers as of January, 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bianca Del Rio truly made history on her “It\u2019s Jester Joke” stand-up tour. She is indeed the first drag queen to perform headlining and sold out at Wembley Arena and Carnegie Hall, a performance hailed as “a truly extraordinary event (Instinct Magazine).” Throughout her new tour \u201cUnsanitized\u201d, the biggest and most hilarious drag queen, will put her outspokenness, her sense of repartee, and completely unique hilarious show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bianca\u2019s brand continues to expand with her recently launched makeup remover, \u201cThe Bianca Remover\u201d, which is currently Amazon\u2019s top selling beauty product. Among her many accomplishments, Bianca starred in the feature film \u201cHurricane Bianca\u201d (2016), its sequel \u201cHurricane Bianca 2: From Russia with Hate\u201d (2018), the Vimeo original comedy special \u201cRolodex of Hate\u201d, and the Logo original television specials \u201cNot Today Bianca\u201d. Bianca has also taken her trademark wit and sharp commentary to the page in her book \u201cBlame It On Bianca Del Rio: The Expert on Nothing with an Opinion on Everything\u201d (Harper Collins 2018). \u201cUnsanitized\u201d is her fifth stand-up show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSmoke & Mirrors,\u201d Sasha Velour\u2019s first one-queen theatre tour, is an effortless blend of drag, visual art, and magic. Velour introduces audiences to a whole new side of her artistry, through 13 dazzling and genre-busting lip-synch performances, all directed and choreographed by the queen herself. You\u2019ll be on the edge of your seat as she explodes into rose petals, vanishes in a puff of smoke, saws herself in half, conjures a rainstorm, even transforms into a tree in front of your eyes (to name just a few). But the real magic is the way that these illusions and deceptions serve to unmask deeper truths, sparking fresh analysis of gender, fame, family, and the importance of dreaming big and living life over-the-top. Featuring the music of Annie Lennox, Whitney Houston, Shirley Bassey, Judy Garland, Celine Dion, Sia, Nina Simone, Le Tigre and more. Costumes designed by long-time collaborator Diego Montoya. Sasha Velour\u2019s \u201cSmoke & Mirrors\u201d toured Australia and New Zealand in January 2019, had a sold-out 8-night New York City residency in March 2019, toured 23 cities in North America in the fall of 2019, and had limited sold-out engagements in Los Angeles and London, all to rave reviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
