After a sell-out Australian tour in 2015, the Queen of the Queens and winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race, Bianca Del Rio is back with her brand new comedy show, Not Today Satan in May 2016.
Not Today Satan will feature Bianca in a way audiences haven’t seen her before. The hate continues with her hilarious view on everyday things that annoy her… and all of us. She says what we’re all thinking. Bianca Del Rio’s impeccably quick-witted comedy has no boundaries with her unique ability to make audiences cry from laughter (or just plain cry) while she tatters their self-image to shreds, leaving audiences begging for more.
The show’s title, Not Today Satan is a saying Bianca made famous during her time on Drag Race, and has become high selling merchandise, internet meme and even a fan-made song.
Winner of season six of the hit TV series RuPaul’s Drag Race, Bianca Del Rio went on to receive the Best New Television Personality award from NewNowNext in December 2014.. Global accolades along with a Live Nation comedy tour brought the beloved New Orleans entertainer once known as Roy Haylock into the scrutinizing public eye.
Gigs throughout the world, a commercial debut for Starbucks, critical acclaim by The New York Times, even an interview on the late Joan Rivers’ popular show In Bed with Joan, followed. Years of dedication and hard work paid off for this controversial comedian and drag queen.
A self-proclaimed ‘clown in a dress’ with a raw and racy edge, Bianca Del Rio is a costume designer and theatrical performer, as well as the familiar wisecracking artist that emerged on the New Orleans nightclub circuit in 1996 and garnered awards.
Long before her success on RuPaul’s Drag Race, she appeared on MTV, A&E, and the Travel Channel. A staple at gay Mardi Gras events and private parties, this comfortable niche soon opened wide to include mainstream venues and straight audiences on an international level.
Now a resident of New York City, Bianca Del Rio continues to tour the world captivating fans with her sharp wit, dismembering humour, and perceptive commentary in a brash, metro kick to the ego-everything and everyone is her target. Step into her line of verbal fire for an unforgettable, humbling experience… Laugh!
Bianca Del Rio’s Not Today Satan plays Arts Centre Melbourne on 16 May 2016, before touring to: Astor Theatre, Perth (18 May); Thebarton Theatre, Adelaide (20 May); Theatre Royal, Sydney (21 May); Wrest Point, Hobart (23 May); and QPAC, Brisbane (26 May).
