The moment DeLa spoke about being freak/special was so insightful. Love these two very special people xxx

Excellent interview with these two amazing performers. I learned quite a bit about them that I didn't know before. Thanks.

I love the part where they talk about the vultures in the industry, as a creative this very thing has poisoned the entertainment and art industry for years. But it is very comforting to know people like them come on top. Makes me hopeful.

Loved the interview and it's so sad people are not safe in a country that promotes safety and freedom. Wish I could see this show. Have loved this duo since they were on drag race!

Impressive guests! DeLa, Jinkx: your capacity and creativity has no limits. Community power, social network nurturing has been declining over tha last decades... (I think) we must rebuild it. P. S.: excuse my english, it´s not my original lenguage!! Hugs! Monica

Yes new show every year! I went to a comedy series at the Elysian and everyone performed the same content both shows and I was like ummm why I am here? Think it’s much better to keep it fresh and it’s more considerate to the audience’s time ❤🎉✨🤙💫
