Jinkx Monsoon

About this episode

Jinkx Monsoon is a legend in the world of drag. For fans of RuPaul’s Drag Race she is often referred to as "Queen of All Queens" – she’s the only performer to win that competition show twice. Monsoon is set to make her debut on London's West End this August in London in Cole Escola’s Tony award-winning play Oh Mary. We discuss Jinkx’s latest gigs on the stage and how she found herself through drag performances. A version of this interview originally aired in September of 2025.
