RuPaul’s Drag Race‘s Trixie Mattel and Katya Zamolodchikova are heading to the UK with their tour Trixie and Katya Live this autumn.
It’s the first time the pair have toured the UK together since they both competed on the seventh season of the drag queen reality show in 2015.
Inspired by films including The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert and Crossroads, Trixie And Katya Live will be a “comedic musical drag show” parodying the film trope of two women best friends travelling the world together.
“After over a year of living on your small screens, we are pulling out all of the stops on this live show in our spectacular second home, the UK,” said Trixie, who won the third season of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars in 2018.
“You can expect spectacular musical numbers, a dazzling set, and impeccable timing from two of the most talented women in the world. Do I smell a Tony?”
The show will hit London on Saturday 5 November, with the pair performing at the 12,500-capacity OVO Arena Wembley. They will then return to the UK on 25 November, travelling across the country with shows up until 8 December.
Katya said: “Trixie and Katya Live will redefine drag, theatre, and art,”
“You may leave with more questions than answers, but one thing’s for sure: The world will never be the same.”
Since competing on Drag Race, both queens have seen immense success together and individually. The pair have starred in comedy web series UNHhhh since 2016, as well as in the Netflix series I Like To Watch since 2019.
Tickets can be purchased on Trixie and Katya’s website. Presale tickets are on sale now.
