Thirty years into her drag career, Bianca Del Rio has learned one thing: It does not get better.
It gets bitter.
The RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 6 winner hits the road in 2027 with “It Gets Bitter,” her seventh stand-up tour, with more than 50 stops across the U.S. and Canada.
“There’s a lot going on in the world today, and I have a lot to say about it,” Del Rio said in announcing the tour. “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 new hour takes aim at pop culture, world events and the things people do that have been getting on her nerves for three decades. If you’re buying front-row seats, you know the deal: Nobody is safe, least of all you. Prepare to be roasted!
The tour arrives just as Del Rio heads back to reality television. She’ll be putting her cunning skills to the test on the fifth season of The Traitors, premiering in 2027. Del Rio joins a celebrity cast that includes Broadway star Kristin Chenowith, actor Johnny Sibilly, Olympic snowboarder Chloe Kim, and alums of Survivor, The Real Housewives franchise, Love Island and more.
Del Rio, the drag persona of Roy Haylock, became an international star after winning Drag Race in 2014, but she was working the stage long before her tv stardom. The 2027 tour celebrates the milestone of 30 years of professional drag.
Since Drag Race, she has become the first drag queen to headline and sell out both Carnegie Hall and Wembley Arena. She appeared in the West End production of Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, starred in two Hurricane Bianca films and made her New York stage debut in an Off-Broadway production of Tartuffe in 2025.
Bianca Del Rio: It Gets Bitter opens in Palm Springs on Jan. 5 before heading across the U.S. and Canada, with stops in Chicago, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, New York City, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Toronto and Vancouver.
Artist presale begins Wednesday, Oct. 7 at 10 a.m. local time at BiancaDelRio.com with code CLOWN2027. General ticket sales begin Friday, Oct. 9 at 10 a.m. local time.
