Monét X Change, “Miss Congeniality” of RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 10 and winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Season 4, and Bob the Drag Queen, winner of Season 8, co-host the hit podcast, Sibling Rivalry. They are not actually siblings, but they are the intensely hilarious comedy duo with infectious chemistry, and they will record the podcast live on Thursday evening, January 20. 

In addition to their touring, television, and music careers, you’ve seen Bob in his comedy specials, Suspiciously Large Woman, Crazy Black Lady, and on HBO’s We’re Here. Monét has her hit BUILD Series talk show, The X Change Rate.

In 2022, ESPN X Games are scheduled during the last weekend of AGSW (January 21-23) “We are collaborating with Aspen Snowmass to bridge our events and talent, such as Bob and Monét, with X Games,” said Kevin McManamon, Executive Director of AspenOUT, the nonprofit that organizes AGSW.

In addition to the popular annual events, such as the mountaintop dance party at Sundeck and the Downhill Costume Contest, Limelight Hotel will act as the host hotel once again, featuring on-site amenities such as the outdoor pool and hot tubs, an expansive continental breakfast, and a complimentary shuttle.
