    The moment DeLa spoke about being freak/special was so insightful. Love these two very special people xxx

      I could totally relate to old traditions being reconfigured when they no longer suit one’s psyche.

    I love the part where they talk about the vultures in the industry, as a creative this very thing has poisoned the entertainment and art industry for years. But it is very comforting to know people like them come on top. Makes me hopeful.

    Loved the interview and it's so sad people are not safe in a country that promotes safety and freedom. Wish I could see this show. Have loved this duo since they were on drag race!

    I love how Jinkx and DeLa really listen to each other. They don't interrupt or talk over the other at all. They truly do respect each other and there's no diva-ness going on here. Love it!❤👍👏👏

    Love watching you two ladies together. You are very fluid together. Maybe its that Virgo Libra cusp you both have with other compatible aspects.

    Impressive guests! DeLa, Jinkx: your capacity and creativity has no limits. Community power, social network nurturing has been declining over tha last decades... (I think) we must rebuild it. P. S.: excuse my english, it´s not my original lenguage!!
    Hugs!

    Yes new show every year! I went to a comedy series at the Elysian and everyone performed the same content both shows and I was like ummm why I am here? Think it’s much better to keep it fresh and it’s more considerate to the audience’s time ❤🎉✨🤙💫

    Just two lithe Christian girls serving American realness to a polite Canadian interviewer in a God-honoring way.

    "Two fussy nerds" sounds like a novel take on the 12 Days of Christmas. Love you. Keep self producing, and tell the money men that you are leftists/socialists/commies now. If you haven't already, come to the dark side, we have fair-trade cookies!
