Yaas! Look out, the comedy queens are comin’!
An exciting roster of 6 RuPaul’s Drag Race winners and stars are debuting new comedy shows in the months ahead.
Jinkx Monsoon told EW,
The world continues to be a fucking shit show…
I’m too loud-mouthed and opinionated for me not to bring what’s going on in the world into my work.”
Jinkx Monsoon: Red Head Redemption

Darienne Lake: Altered Boy
Refresh yourself in the cool waters of Dariene Lake with intimate but hilarious tales from her life, growing up as the middle child in a large Catholic family, to coming out at an early age as a drag queen, finding her chosen family and life’s purpose through humor, and self revelation. Premiere: April 4
Peppermint: So-SIGH-ety Effects

Monét X Change: Fist of Glory
