RuPaul's Drag Race winner Jinkx Monsoon (she/her/they/them) is the "internationally tolerated" cabaret icon who's taken over the entertainment industry as an award-winning actress, acclaimed vocalist, and theatre sensation. She's now competing on RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Season 7 amongst a cast of all winning contestants.
Since gaining a massive international fan base, Jinkx 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). 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.
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. 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.
Jinkx is gearing up for the release of her new EP out later this summer, and has dropped the lead single for the project, "Know-It-All" written by Major Scales.

So much better than I was expecting. A good mix of comedy and singing.
Show was great - perhaps a bit too much singing but very entertaining. Just beware of the merchandise as they advertise the price but they don’t tell you it’s in USD.
The Orpheum is a very beautiful theatre and a great background for the big personality of Jinkx Monsoon. Jinks was in fine form and her interaction with the audience was, as usual, bright and forthcoming. Her voice is absolutely amazing and I can see why she was such a hit on Broadway. Her wit and timing were standout. I specially enjoyed her political quips about the difficulties for her community in the US. Her self deprecation just makes me love her more every time I see her. I personally was not too fond of the new music but she performed so well I have to excuse it. Overall an experience I am glad that I didn`t miss.
What a spectacular show! Jinkx has a certain authenticity on stage that is truly delightful. The show was funny, the music was wonderful, and the whole thing felt like it was created by an evil genius. I loved it and can’t wait to see my next Jinkx Monsoon show. Highly recommend!!
The venue was fabulous and Jinkx was even better. What a talent! The voice, the body, the entire evening was a hit. Jinkx had the ability to make a real connection with the audience - great story telling, great vocals and her band were great too. Highly recommend this show to anyone who appreciates drag, Broadway, comedy and who wants an amazing night out. Love you Jinkxie!! ❤️
What a great show! Definitely two very enthusiastic thumbs up 👍 👍
Jinkx Monsoon is one of the most creative performers of my lifetime. Talking to her inner demons onstage and creating a safe space. This was one of the greatest shows I have ever been to. I laughed, cried and had all the emotions in between…. I highly recommend to anyone.
Jinkx was brilliant. With such terrible things going on politically for queer & trans communities, this performance was a beautiful act of defiance. Jinkx was hilarious and gave a really good show.
Jinkx was amazing! Loved the singing and the whole show Costume changes on point ❤️ Some technical glitches but they just rolled with it like the pros they are
Jinkx is superb in every way and this show was fantastic! I can’t wait to see her and Major Scales again ♥️
She is an excellent stage singer. I did appreciate her band that played very well. I was expecting more like comedy show. The theme of of the show was all the same and her jokes mostly didn’t land for me. I did like it her advocacy for LGBTQ2+ community.
The show start 20 minutes late but it last more than 2 hours, I laugh so much it was amazing. Only detail can be to pick better location since Orpheum theatre was really hot since it was sold out show
Not a bad show, but it suffered from some serious pacing issues, and often felt slow. Some bits worked, but many others didn't. The whole bit with her agent calling her went nowhere, and stopped the show cold. And her band leader had a microphone in front of him, but for some reason felt the need to YELL constantly. She is a fantastic showperson, so hopefully the show can tighten up as the tour moves along. It felt like at times she was just winging it. Kind of disappointing.
About an hour too long and unfocused - needs tightening
Jinkx is an amazing artist and their recent Broadway success is a proof for that. I was hoping a comedy show from Everything at Stake. I love their voice and they were perfect at performing in this show but I guess I expected more comedy from the comedy queen themselves than a concert. The airport bit gave me hope that the rest of the show was going to be similar to that, but nope, it was more broadway singing, goofy stage acts (talking to their inner characters on the phone), commercial with Dela, etc. I wish this was a stand up show where Jinkx talked about things instead. I am not saying it was bad at all, it just wasnt what I expected this show would be.
