The “queens of Christmas” will hit Toronto, Hamilton, Montreal, Edmonton and Vancouver this upcoming holiday season…
RuPaul’s Drag Race stars BenDeLaCreme and Jinkx Monsoon are heading out on the road together once again. Following the massive success of their previous holiday tours the pair will be hitting the road later this year with a brand new show. The Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Show is a 30-city tour that will make stops throughout North American from November 12 thru December 30 with Canadian stops in Toronto, Hamilton, Montreal, Edmonton and Vancouver.
“With all the hatred, darkness, and misinformation flying around our world today, it is an honour and a privilege to spend the holidays with tens of thousands of audience members each year, creating joyous community spaces where we can gather strength through laughter and celebration,” says BenDeLaCreme. “Whether you consider it the most wonderful time of year or the most troubling, we’re here to tell you… you’re right! So let’s make it our own.”
Monsoon adds, “It’s been a wild year, so let’s end it wildly. DeLa and I strive to entertain while we enlighten and enliven. The Jinkx & Dela Holiday Show is not only a moment of respite, but also of community, at a time where we need our chosen family and community most of all. So add us to your holiday plans, or let us BE your holiday plans— either way, you’re welcome to join us.”
BenDeLaCreme and Jinkx Monsoon are the sole writers of their holiday shows, a major achievement for two drag artists who tour at such a large scale. With BenDeLaCreme in the producer and director’s chairs, the show is entirely helmed by the queens themselves. It’s a reminder why authentic queer storytelling is not only necessary but should be widely celebrated.
The Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Show will hit Toronto, ON on November 21 (Meridian Hall); Montreal, QC on November 23 and 24 (L’Olympia de Montreal); Hamilton, ON on November 25 (First Ontario Concert Hall); Edmonton, AB on December 29 (Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium); and Vancouver, BC on December 30 (The Orpheum).
