Bob the Drag Queen is back- just don’t expect a hug from the queen.
“I’m doing my first live shows after the pon-de-replay. I’ll be doing my first two shows at @breaimprov and @irvineimprov. Tickets are on sale now (LINK IN BIO). Im [sic] so excited to see you all, but I’m still not hugging you.”
Season 9- Sasha Velour
Sasha is looking ‘unusually symmetrical’ for the premiere party for “Hot White Heist” in Tribeca.
“Sorry I was away from my phone! It was “HEIST” time! Still thinking about the premiere party for the @audible original ‘Hot White Heist’ at @tribeca (June 16), where the cast of NightGowns (including me!) appeared as ‘The Clito Dancers’ and turned Hudson yards into a stunning and almost naked queer disco! It was so much fun!”
“Hot White Heist” is a podcast comedy created by @theadamgoldman and @alancummingsnaps that follows a hilarious queer-led Sperm Bank heist! It is over-the-top and camp, just like we all need! Thank you for bringing us onboard and treating us to such a fabulous night!”
Season 10- Aquaria

Three icons. I’m gagged.
