Acclaimed for their amazing production values, this is the fifth iteration of the ground-breaking tour in the UK.

The tour is a spin-off from the original, hugely popular TV show, RuPaul’s Drag Race – a reality show in which a group of talented drag queens compete in challenges to impress host RuPaul, the world’s most famous drag queen, to win a cash prize along with a crown and the title of America’s Next Drag Superstar.
