After collaborating on 2020′s The Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Special , two of the Pacific Northwest’s most illustrious drag queens—Portland’s Jinkx Monsoon and Seattle’s BenDeLaCreme—are re-teaming for their global 2023 holiday tour , The Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Show.

“With all the hatred, darkness, and misinformation flying around our world today, it is an honor 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,” BenDeLaCreme said in a statement.

Running from Nov. 7 to Dec. 30, the tour will take the two stars across the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada. First up is Detroit; Portland, on Dec. 27 at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall , will be one of the final stops.

“It’s been a wild year, so let’s end it wildly,” added Monsoon. “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.”

Monsoon and BenDeLaCreme, who are both veterans of RuPaul’s Drag Race , wrote the show themselves, and are promising an evening of “fabulous spectacle, whip-smart comedy, brand new songs, and annual favorites.”

“Whether you consider it the most wonderful time of year or the most troubling, we’re here to tell you…you’re right!” BenDeLaCreme said. “So let’s make it our own.”

Jinkx Monsoon & BenDeLaCreme Spill All the Tea on Their Holiday Tour

The Drag Race legends are hitting the road with a brand new show!

These two iconic queens are making the yuletide gay!

Jinkx Monsoon really doesn't need an introduction, as many fans of RuPaul's Drag Race loved watching the queen's journey as she snatched the crown... twice! Plus, she shattered records during her time as Matron "Mama" Morton in Chicago on Broadway.

BenDeLaCreme has also cemented her legacy in the world of drag from her memorable runs on Drag Race , along with her projects behind the scenes with her production company BenDeLaCreme Presents.

Although they've both thrived in their solo careers, there's something magical that happens when these two come together. Thankfully, fans get to see what they do best on their upcoming holiday tour called The Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Show.

Fans can expect a brand new show filled with camp, holiday cheer, and everything that makes a gay old time to close out 2023.

"It does get better every year and that's because the audiences are so good to us every year. In the last few years, we've been putting these characters in the craziest situations we can think of. This year, we're going more of a supernatural direction. It's like White Christmas meets Poltergeist meets Looney Tunes, " Monsoon says.

"We just throw every idea at the wall, no matter how crazy, and a lot of the crazy ones still stick. It's an overwhelming endeavor, but it's something that has become increasingly natural to us," BenDeLaCreme adds.

While the show certainly takes audiences on a wild and fun ride, the real joy for Jinkx and DeLa is the bond they've built as entertainers and best friends.

"Who else but my sister DeLa would be willing to go on such a cooky journey with me? When you are passionate about what you do and you get to do it with people you love, the work is fun. We have a great dynamic working together. It's not always easy, but it's usually fun," Monsoon shares.

As an election nears around the corner, the queens are hoping to end the year on a positive note and empower the queer community to head into 2024 with a positive mentality.

"What is a wonderful byproduct of these horrible times we're living in as queer people is that we are just craving authenticity. I love to provide entertainment while still touching on the subjects that are important to our community at this time," Monsoon says.

"It's about coming together and laughing and realizing that you have all of these thousands of people that are kindred spirits. Things are working against us so strongly. We need to constantly be remembering that just because we created a tradition together as a family, it doesn't mean that we don't have to maintain it and work to push it forward," BenDeLaCreme concludes.

Jinkx Monsoon Announces 'Everything at Stake' Tour Dates

The public on-sale will take place Friday, February 24 at 9 a.m. local time.

The Queen of all Queens is ready to cast her next great spell! Two-time RuPaul's Drag Race winner and Broadway breakout star Jinkx Monsoon will launch her biggest tour to date with Jinkx Monsoon: Everything at Stake.

LATEST NEWS

After Monsoon finishes up her run as Matron 'Mama' Morton in Chicago on Broadway on March 12, her summer tour will perform in 44 cities across the U.S. and Canada from June 12 - August 14.

For the first time ever, Jinkx and her musical main squeeze Major Scales will tour with a full rock band performing a decades' worth of covers and original music from her critically-acclaimed albums (The Ginger Snapped, The Inevitable Album), along with new songs from her upcoming 3-part album The Virgo Odyssey.

Known for her electric and eclectic performance style, "Everything at Stake" shows Jinkx weaving together tales from her enigmatic life in a show where music, comedy, witchy magic, and camp-fantasy collide. At a time where literally everything is at stake, get ready for a spellbinding, bombastic, and revolutionary experience straight from the heart of this "internationally tolerated" superstar.

Registration for the "Everything at Stake" Artist Presale begins at 9 a.m. PST here , and registered users will receive presale codes on Wednesday, February 22nd at 12 p.m. PST. The public on-sale will take place Friday, February 24 at 9 a.m. local time here .

Monsoon says, "It's all been building to this! 'Everything at Stake' marks my biggest concert tour ever- where I get to flex every one of my performance muscles with my musical partner in crime, Major Scales. What's most exciting is, we're coming to over 40 cities across North America, many of which will be for the FIRST TIME! I know, crazy, right? In these tumultuous times, it's important to unapologetically claim our space as queer and trans people; to celebrate the revolutionary act of drag and living one's truth. I'm getting my broom ready, I can't wait to see you soon. Mama loves you."

The tour announcement comes during a whirlwind year for Monsoon. In January, she made her Broadway debut (a lifelong goal since she began doing drag at 15) in one of the longest running shows on Broadway-Chicago-playing Matron "Mama" Morton.

She kicked off her press tour for Chicago by becoming the first RuPaul's Drag Race queen to guest on Late Night with Seth Meyers, which quickly went viral when it hit online for her celebrity impressions. She's also recently appeared on CBS Mornings, Good Morning America.

Last summer, Jinkx competed on RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 7, becoming the first drag queen in Drag Race "herstory" to win the crown twice, earning the coveted title "Queen of All Queens" in a competition against previous winners. Her most recent tour was the critically-acclaimed theatrical spectacular, "The Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Show" (Produced by BenDeLaCreme Presents) co-starring with her best friend and fellow drag superstar, BenDeLaCreme.

The 2022 tour became their highest grossing holiday tour to date and is expected to return for its 6th year this holiday season. Jinkx also released her latest studio EP, The Virgo Odyssey: Prologue (PEG Records), spawning cult hits like "Know-It-All" and her dazzling cover of "Strange Magic" by Electric Light Orchestra.

The "Jinkx Monsoon: Everything at Stake" tour is produced by the AEG Presents Comedy Division in association with the Producer Entertainment Group (PEG).

About Jinkx Monsoon

Two-time RuPaul's Drag Race winner and Broadway breakout star Jinkx Monsoon (she/her) is the "internationally tolerated" drag icon who's taken over the entertainment industry as an award-winning stage actress, acclaimed vocalist, stand-up comic, and theatre sensation.

Jinkx has garnered an international fan base following her win on RuPaul's Drag Race Season 5 (2013), and continued her winning streak on RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 7 (2022) where she was crowned "Queen of All Queens", competing against previous winners. In 2023, Jinkx made her highly-anticipated Broadway debut as Matron "Mama" Morton in Broadway's longest-running show, Chicago.

She has toured the world performing her original cabaret shows with music partner Major Scales, including highly-acclaimed shows like The Ginger Snapped, The Vaudevillians (which became a hit off-broadway sensation) and their most recent production, Together Again, Again (2022). As a recording artist, Jinkx has released three critically-hailed albums of original music written by Major Scales including her most recent The Virgo Odyssey (2022), The Inevitable Album and The Ginger Snapped.

In 2018, she partnered with best friend and fellow RuPaul's Drag Race star, BenDeLaCreme for their first major holiday tour To Jesus, Thanks for Everything! - Jinkx and DeLa. Jinkx and DeLa's co-written holiday productions have grown into a worldwide phenomenon, spawning the 2019 tour, All I Want for Christmas is Attention, a Hulu holiday hit, The Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Special (2020), and The Return of the Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Show, LIVE! (2021) which performed for sold-out audiences across the U.S., U.K. and Canada. In 2022, she and DeLa had their highest grossing international tour to date with their 5th annual The Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Show.

No stranger to film and TV, Jinkx has appeared on the CBS cop drama Blue Bloods, the Netflix original AJ and the Queen, and has voiced characters for such animated shows as Steven Universe, Mighty Magiswords, Bravest Warriors, as well as a few surprises that are yet to come! Jinkx has been the subject of two documentaries: Drag Becomes Him, and The Queens.

She is an award-winning stage actress, having won the Gregory Award for her portrayal of Hedwig in Hedwig and the Angry Inch, and most recently, The MAC Award for her show The Ginger Snapped, co-written with Major Scales.

Jinkx Monsoon reveals Everything at Stake tour dates inspired by iconic Drag Race burning witch dress

The shows will blend rock-concert vibes and allegorical comedy that addresses the "f---ing s--- show" of American society and "witch hunts" against LGBTQIA+ people.

Gird your loins, hold on to your heels, and prep your potions, because RuPaul's Drag Race two-time winner and Chicago Broadway star Jinkx Monsoon is hitting the road for a bewitching new show, and EW has the exclusive reveal of all the dates ahead on her biggest tour yet.

Beginning June 12 and ultimately traveling to 44 North American cities, Jinkx's Everything at Stake is the most ambitious outing of the drag superstar's career — and she tells EW's Quick Drag podcast (below) that it was all inspired by a fan-favorite moment from her run on Drag Race All Stars 7 last year.

"It was the [fan] reaction to the burning dress that motivated the motif for this tour," Jinkx explains of the dress she wore for the season's "All Glowed Up" runway, which featured her walking the Main Stage in a white gown that lit up with electric fire and appeared to burn her at the stake.

The current show is a contemporary showcase of the skill set that made her a queer legend: "Imagine stand-up comedy meets rock concert meets drag," she says of the tour's vibe. But it's also a poignant — but not soapbox-y — act of resistance as politicians propose legislation and spew discriminatory rhetoric that could limit drag artists' right to perform in their own states.

"I'm going to find the parallels between the witch hunts that existed in the olden days, when women were persecuted for taking on the patriarchy, and the parallels happening right now with the queer, trans, and LGBTQIA+ community — the witch hunt we're experiencing as we take on the patriarchy," she explains. "It's Everything at Stake because this is the most attention I've had on me in some time, and I want to show the world why I deserve that attention. That's where it started, and since coming to this title, the world continues to be a f---ing s--- show. And the title now has multiple meanings, of course, that will find its way into my work for this tour. I'm too loud-mouthed and opinionated for me not to bring what's going on in the world into my work."

Joining her in the collaborative process is her longtime creative partner, Major Scales, as well as her husband, Michael, who will accompany her on the road thanks to "a little touch of nepotism," she jokes.

The resulting production represents the breadth of excellence in her career as she explores parody, allegory, video segments, and sketch comedy devised with her Sketchy Queens series writer Liam Krug. It's all inspired by the political climate and what's happening in her everyday life.

"This show is going to be less narrative, less a plot, and more like a showcase of everything that I've got to offer," she says. That includes high-energy numbers, pre-recorded video segments, and new original music from her upcoming album. She's also bringing "new special props and set pieces made specifically for this tour" on the road, all of which are "leaning heavily" into her "witch aesthetic."

While Everything at Stake isn't meant to be a doom-and-gloom crusade, she does hope its colorful looks and unabashed queer quirks stand as a reminder that the community isn't going anywhere, even as attacks from "objectively wrong conservative assholes" increase with "lies, tactics, and manipulation" meant to oppress.

"It doesn't make me happy to stand up against that, but that's what drag has always done — that's what I've always done as an artist," she says. "And if anyone's going to do it, at least when I'm doing it, it's someone I trust."

Registration for the Everything at Stake artist presale begins at 12 p.m. ET / 9 a.m. PT on Jinkx's tour site , with registered users receiving presale codes on Feb. 22 at 3 p.m. ET / 12 p.m. PT. Public on-sale begins Feb. 24 at 9 a.m. local time on the star's website .
