That “Clown in a Gown” Bianca Del Rio Announces North American Dates For “It’s Jester Joke” Tour

February 12, 2019• byMichael Strangeways

We knew it was coming but now it’s official…mega drag superstar BIANCA DEL RIO has just announced her North American tour dates for her new show, It’s Jester Joke. And, she’s such a huge star, it’s just one part of a global tour that kicks off later this month in Australia with stops all over Oz as well as New Zealand with it wrapping up with gigs in 3 Asian cities (Singapore, Hong Kong and two shows in Manila).

The tour then moves to Europe for August and then to the UK/Ireland for most of September where the majority of the shows will be in ARENAS.

Let that sink in. Bianca is now selling out arena sized spaces. A drag queen comedian.

And, the rest of her shows are all pretty much in large theater venues including Carnegie Hall in NYC (that’s a huge deal) and Seattle’s Moore Theatre where she’ll appear November 20, 2019 close to the very end of the tour which winds up on 11/30 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. (She also bops into Portland, Oregon’s Revolution Hall on the 19th of November…)

Pre-sale tickets for the North American shows start Wednesday, February 13th and general public tix happen on Friday, February 15th…go HERE for tickets/info.

And, more skinny on the new show:

After global sold out tours, comedy queen and RuPaul’s Drag Race champion Bianca Del Rio announces North American dates for her brand new comedy show It’s Jester Joke. The self-proclaimed “clown in a gown” tells tales of her worldwide adventures and the outrageous circus that is her life in her comical “tell it like it is” voice, covering life from politics to travel, family and social media. Bianca’s “It’s Jester Joke” Tour will travel the continent this fall bringing her irreverent, side-splitting comedy to over 40 cities, including the first ever drag queen performance at NYC’s legendary Carnegie Hall, in what will be the biggest ever solo drag show tour in North America.
