There’s singing, dancing, jokes, clowning and some very pointed impressions, including a take on Shirley Temple and Joan Rivers.
When: June 12 and June 13, 8 p.m.Victoria performer Jimbo is taking the art of drag to the next level with Jimbo’s Drag Circus live show.
“There’s not a lot of drag performers out there with a full touring set. With a full, big show like this. This is something that hasn’t really been done on this scale before,” said Jimbo, who designed the show-stopping looks and composed original music with Andrew Feels.“It’s really what I have been dreaming about for so long, to have my own story and to play all the characters. I play six characters. I do improv.
Jimbo, as Jimbo the Drag Clown, began collecting a following of fans after finishing fourth in Canada’s Drag Race in 2020. Jimbo then sashayed onto the U.K. Versus the World Drag Race stage and finished seventh. Those early results didn’t discourage, and Jimbo went on to win Season 8 of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars last year.With a secure hold on the crown, Jimbo moved on and started to build a live stage career.
“So that’s what I encourage other people to do, is find that thing about yourself that brings you joy, that sets you apart. And then focus on that.” In the background was a rack of brightly coloured clothing. But, upon closer inspection, one garment stuck out: an authentic Cowichan sweater.
