The Drag Queens of Comedy 2017, touring across America, arrives for a one-night-only, two-performance show. These headline grabbers have made their name in clubs across America and on the world-renowned "RuPaul's Drag Race" TV show, where most of America first met them, fell in love or were scandalized by them.

Guests who attend this epic, not-to-be-missed comedy extravaganza will roar with laughter as these "girls" serve up politically incorrect humor guaranteed to offend everybody. Those who are easily shocked should take their anti-anxiety medication before arriving at the PlayStation Theater.

The line-up for The Drag Queens of Comedy 2017 are:

Alaska Thunderfuck 5000: A Glamazonian princess from the planet Glamtr0n whose space ship crash-landed on Earth in the mid-to-late 1980s. Clutching only a 1966 copy of Redbook magazine and a can of Tab diet soda, Alaska found herself thrust into the spotlight as a finalist on Season 5 of the hit TV program "RuPaul's Drag Race". With a venomous determination and an unquenchable lust for fame and power, Alaska returned to "RuPaul's Drag Race" All Stars in 2016 and won the highly-coveted crown, scepter, and a spot in the Drag Race Hall of Fame. Her only mission now is to bless the inhabitants of Earth with her unique brand of beauty, grace, and liberation from gender norms - and to get enough Twitter followers to get her space ship back up and running.

Willam: Famous for breaking the rules. After playing cross-dressing guest star roles on every major TV network, he incited a national frenzy as the only contestant ever disqualified from "RuPaul's Drag Race," spawning the ubiquitous internet meme #WhatDidWillamDo? Undeterred, Willam has released a Billboard Top Ten-charting solo album and toured extensively to locales such as Tokyo, Brazil, Iceland, Dubai & Ohio. Willam was a member of the now-defunct Los Angeles pop group DWV, consisting of drag queens Willam Belli, Detox Icunt and Vicky Vox. The trio found fame with the release of "Chow Down (at Chick-Fil-A)" in March 2012 (satirizing Chick-fil-A's controversial stance on marriage equality). Their follow-up was the January 2013 release of "Boy is a Bottom", which has garnered more than16 million views on YouTube. After the group's break-up in 2014, Willam released a Spanish-language music video of the song "Es Una Pasiva." He continues working as a model/actress/mattress/hostess with American Apparel and Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics for Sephora. Click here to visit website.
