"What's most exciting is, we're coming to over 40 cities across North America, many of which will be for the FIRST TIME!"
Jinkx Monsoon continued:
"I know, crazy, right? In these tumultuous times, it's important to unapologetically claim our space as queer and trans people; to celebrate the revolutionary act of drag and living one's truth. I'm getting my broom ready, I can't wait to see you soon. Mama loves you."
