Drag Race icon Bianca Del Rio announces brand new project landing in 2027

RuPaul's Drag Race winner Bianca Del Rio will be back on stage for her seventh stand-up tour across the UK and Ireland, with the queen celebrating her 30-year career.

Kicking off in March next year, Bianca's new tour It Get Bitter will stop in Brighton, Bristol, Glasgow, Edinburgh, London and Cardiff among other locations.

Known offstage as Roy Haylock, the legendary queen is set to be joining The Traitors US for the show's sixth season. But before she can speak her mind in the castle under host Alan Cumming's watchful eye, she'll take to the stage to vent "to anyone who will listen".

"There's a lot going on in the world today, and I have a lot to say about it," Bianca said in a statement.

"I'm looking forward to finally getting back on the road and venting to anyone who will listen. The old saying is 'It gets better', but I'm proof that after 30 years in drag 'IT GETS BITTER'!!"

The show comes with a "stern" warning for fans who might get easily offended by Bianca's razor-sharp tongue.

"If you are sensitive, easily offended or possess a fragile sense of self-worth, choose your seats carefully," the show's description reads.

"In classic Bianca fashion, the front row is a firing squad, and no one is safe from her biting insults and lightning-fast comebacks," the show's description reads.

"She's seasoned, she's legendary, and she's officially exhausted by your nonsense," the official description also teases, as Bianca is also expected to bring her tour to Latin America this November and all over the US, Canada, and mainland Europe in 2027.
