Bianca Del Rio Celebrates 30-Year Career with Global Stand-Up Tour
International drag superstar and one of the most boundary-pushing comics of our time, Bianca Del Rio, announced the 2027 North American dates of her global stand-up comedy tour, Bianca Del Rio: It Gets Bitter.
The RuPaul’s Drag Race winner and star of the upcoming season of The Traitors will travel to more than 50 cities across the U.S. and Canada from February to June, with additional dates in the UK and Europe also set to be announced.
Get ready to swallow a jagged pill of truth because the “Clown in a Gown” is back and meaner than ever. It Gets Bitter is Bianca’s highly anticipated new hour of stand-up and marks her seventh world tour, following the global success of Bianca Del Rio: Dead Inside, which sold out major theaters across 26 countries. This milestone trek isn’t just another night of comedy; it’s a celebration of thirty years of professional drag excellence and three decades of Bianca absolutely hating everything you stand for.
Expect a masterclass in vitriol as she turns her razor-sharp tongue toward the absolute absurdity of modern life. From the vapid landscape of pop culture to the chaotic state of world events, and—most importantly—the mundane things people do every day that drive her to the brink, no topic is off-limits and no ego is too big to be deflated.
Trigger alert: if you are sensitive, easily offended, or possess a fragile sense of self-worth, do not select seats near the stage. In classic Bianca fashion, the front row is a firing squad, and no one is safe from her legendary biting insults and lightning-fast wit. She’s seasoned, she’s legendary, and she’s officially exhausted by your nonsense.
Bianca says,”There’s a lot going on in the world today, and I have a lot to say about it. 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!
Artist presale is on now at BiancaDelRio.com (Code: CLOWN2027). General onsale begins Friday, October 9 at 10 a.m. local. VIP Packages, including a photo opportunity with Bianca, are also available for purchase.
About Bianca Del Rio
Bianca Del Rio, otherwise known as Roy Haylock, is a dimple-cheeked, larger-than-life drag queen and outrageous insult comic in a class all by herself. Hailed as “the Joan Rivers of the drag world” by The New York Times, Bianca’s groundbreaking comedy career has transcended what was once considered possible for a drag artist. Bianca first rose to international fame as the winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 6, and will return to our screens on the Emmy-winning reality series The Traitors, premiering in 2027. In 2019, she made history as the first drag queen to headline and sell out both Wembley Arena and Carnegie Hall. That year, she also made her West End debut in the hit musical Everybody’s Talking About Jamie playing the role of Hugo/Loco Chanelle, following her star turn in the cult classic feature films Hurricane Bianca (2016), and Hurricane Bianca 2: From Russia with Hate (2018), co-starring Rachel Dratch and Wanda Sykes. Her debut book, Blame It On Bianca Del Rio: The Expert on Nothing with an Opinion on Everything, was published by HarperCollins in 2018 to wide acclaim. In 2025, Bianca made her New York onstage debut in Tartuffe Off-Broadway. Bianca Del Rio: It Gets Bitter will premiere in Latin America this November.
