Bianca Del Rio brings her brand-new stand-up show, It Gets Bitter, to Bristol Beacon for a riotous celebration of 30 years in drag.
The RuPaul’s Drag Race winner and self-professed “Clown in a Gown” has built a legendary comedy career on razor-sharp wit, outrageous honesty and a complete lack of concern for anyone’s feelings. Now, in her seventh solo stand-up tour, Bianca turns her biting tongue on the absurdities of modern life, from pop culture and world events to the everyday habits that drive her to the brink.
Expect no-holds-barred comedy, lightning-fast comebacks and plenty of audience interaction as Bianca proves that after three decades in drag, it doesn’t get better – It Gets Bitter.
