Sasha Colby is making history by becoming the first trans woman drag performer to partner with Live Nation on a solo tour. She is also set to bring a new act featuring a mix of comedy and music on her tour, something she elaborated upon in an exclusive interview with Billboard magazine on October 18, 2023, stating:
"This was this is the first time that I got to create a world from scratch...this is really exciting for me to allow people to see the inner workings of my brain and what I find exciting...I feel like I’m most effective when it’s just stripped down — it could be just a bare stage and me creating the world through my drag."
The singer further elaborated on the content of the upcoming tour, stating:
"The story for the most part is going to revolve around the past, present and future. So we’ll have things I loved when I was growing up, whether that’s pageants, old school Hollywood, or even my hula performance. And then to make more than a one-woman show, we’re going to do a past, present and future for different each city."
"so we’re going to have a legend from that city or that area, and then some up-and-coming drag performer guests. I just want to show people that if you like mother, then you’re gonna love what mother likes. You really don’t know the story of drag until you know the history, right? Once you know what what has happened, then you feel more invested."
