RuPaul's Drag Race alums Jinkx Monsoon (Chicago, Little Shop of Horrors) and BenDeLaCreme began previews November 7 for their annual holiday tradition, The Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Show. The touring show made its first stop in Charlotte, North Carolina. See photos from the show in the gallery below. 

DeLa is directing and producing the show, which is different every year. Past iterations saw the duo traveling through time à la A Christmas Carol, taking on AI overlords looking to replace them, being trapped in a meta world of their own Faustian creation, and more. The project even spawned a film version (The Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Special) in 2020. This year's tour is playing 33 cities, including first-ever stops in Las Vegas, New Orleans, Houston, Charlotte, and Orlando.
