Sit down all you kings, two queens are talking. RuPaul’s Drag Race winner Trixie Mattel and her co-host (and co-drag legend) Katya Zamolodchikova are gracing us flyover nobodies with their bold insights into fashion, pop culture, and cultural boundaries. They’ll witch and laugh the night away, and you’re invited. They might even have a special guest to talk to, but withholding this info will have them keep us edging in our seats. Wait, what did we say? Shows at 8 p.m. on Dec. 6 (sold out) and 7 p.m. on Dec. 8 (tickets at ticketmaster.com).
media release: The Bald and the Beautiful with Trixie and Katya features a pair of grizzled gay ghouls sitting on chairs, holding microphones, and discussing their fabulous lives in Tinseltown. (featuring occasional forays into movies, television shows, and air-conditioning) The New York Times called them models, moguls, actors, influencers, drag queens, RuPaul’s Drag Race contestants, and even humanoids. If one thing can be said about these two preternaturally gorgeous queens’ podcast, it’s that Trixie and Katya find the sheer, unadulterated beauty of pure insanity.
