Episode Description

This week, Alan is joined by the one and only Jinkx Monsoon.

The singer, actress, comedian and two-time Drag Race champion is currently wowing audiences as Judy Garland in "End of the Rainbow" (which ends Sunday!) and preparing to star in Broadway's smash-hit "Oh, Mary!". On board, Jinkx talks witchcraft, queer icons, sobriety, Broadway dreams, getting hit by a car in Amsterdam, why she loves Mexico City, and the parallels she found with Judy Garland. Expect travel disasters, showbiz stories, and plenty of laughs!
