Renowned for her snarky frankness, impeccable timing and politically incorrect humour, Bianca was crowned “The queen of all Drag Race queens” (New York Magazine’s “Most Powerful Drag Queens in America”) and is set to bring a comedy show like no other to the UK with her Unsantized tour.
Fierce, funny, and fabulous, Bianca Del Rio emerged on the New Orleans nightclub circuit and has since become a drag megastar, earning awards including NewNowNext’s Best New Television Personality, Variety’s Top 10 Comics to Watch and #1 in New York Magazine’s “The Most Powerful Drag Queens in America”. She is the host of The Bianca Del Rio Podcast, has starred in movies including Hurricane Bianca, as well as author of the hysterical book “Blame it on Bianca Del Rio”, all while amassing millions of fans on social media.
These days Justin’s not certain about anything apart from his uncertainty – Brexit looms, it appears the Cold War is being rebooted and that’s before we begin to worry about what’s happening in America…..closer to home he’s starting to feel redundant as a parent. One kid is leaving home, the dog is getting older and doesn’t need much walking, and the youngest kid hits thirteen and cancels the family subscription to The Beano.
On top of this the golden age of the Northern straight white male comedian has gone the way of the dinosaurs. How will he adapt if he wants to survive? What next for this Northern Joker? What can he talk to his daughter about now she cares little for Dennis the Menace and the Bash St Kids? Hang on. Perhaps nothing has changed that much. When he was thirteen, the Russians were scary, the White House was a madhouse and he’d never been to Europe anyhow. Thinking back this was when his reading habits changed too, more Dark Knight than Desperate Dan, more Catwoman than Minnie the Minx. Perhaps our heroes never went away….they just waited for us to pick them up again. Perhaps she just needs a different type of comic..

‘She’s absolutely fearless – there’s nowhere she won’t go and nothing she won’t say on stage and she’ll switch from snarling and menacing to sweet and girlish in an instant. It’s a killer combination’
