- Jimbo the Drag Clown got a taste of revenge last year. After getting eliminated from the first season of “Canada's Drag Race,” she returned to win Season 8 of “RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars.” In the midst of her North American tour, Jimbo sits down with Tom to tell us about her drag beginnings, how she uses her training as a clown to take her performances to the next level, and why everything she does is for the “unseen, beautiful weirdos” who relate to her.

i caught a bologna at her live show! i’ve been such a fan since her meet the queens on cdr s1 and have been so inspired by her resilience and growth over the years after things didn’t necessarily go her way on the first two seasons she competed on. she doesn’t give up and she just gets better. a comedic genius.
Omg I didn’t think bologna could zoom so fast through the air! Such a good show and the dancers were amazing
I’d resin the bologna and keep it on the wall
@@Abishhhhh it’s in my freezer 😭😭
@@isaacomg-yd6fdabsolutely not 😂 boy you better throw that away. Or at least put it in resin, as abishhhh suggested.
So jealous in the best way possible that you caught a bologna!!!!
I adore Jimbo. The way she talks is so soothing and interesting. I could listen to her for hours.
Her voice is always calming
My goodness, I fall in sleep after 10 mins of listening. She needs to start an ASMR
JIMBO is such a fascinating artist. Loveeeee her ❤️
Jimbo is such an interesting character in the best possible way. Her interest in medicine was so unexpected. She’s just one of our national treasures.🥰🇨🇦
She is a HEALER.
Jimbo is the ultimate clown and official Queen of the weirdos. Such an iconic, brilliantly funny Queen with a big heart. Dare I say, the funniest Queen as far as I'm concerned. Her run on her winning season was one of my favorites so far.
Yes, our Canadian girl!!! 🇨🇦
That strawberry dream hair is so cute
JIMBO IS SPECIAL !
She's one of a kind that's for sure ❤
I want to know if Jimbo has watched Baskets. 😂 Such an underrated series.
Jimbo is so SMART!
This interview is gold. Love you Jimbo!
Jimbo is for real an ARTIST! Love u gworl! I'm so happy that our people are unapologetically living our stories and making art in a world that barely wants us! Thank you for being such an icon!
Art.. entertainment, yes, but art? Nah.
I love this clown discussion. Jimbo is so very clever and creative.
I feel like jimbo would have a blast with the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence
Jimbo is one of my very favourites. One of the biggest and funniest break out stars of ANY season. Nobody compares to Jimbo.
I love Jimbo so much. I loved getting to know them better through this interview--thank you!
Jimbo is such a special person and icon 🖤
Love Jimbo, such an unconventional out of the box artist ❤
Absolutely obsessed with this interview...
Her show in Seattle is exceptionally funny
I heard this on the radio. It was really good. I’m so happy there’s a camera version. I’ll rewatch it :)
Jimbo's success and popularity are because of his authenticity.
💯
Loved this interview, thanks Tom!!! Canada loves you and Jimbo =]

BeyonKlé : Beyoncé + NickelBack😂😂😂😂
JIMBOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Our reigning all star queen ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👑👑👑👑👑👑👸👸👸👸
Jimbo is a REAL ARTIST! very reminiscent of LEIGH BOWERY and 80s underground art culture...i SEE the john waters campiness of JIMBO but also how new his version is.. its a mix of high drag, Disney villain, CLOWN aesthetic and vaudeville
So proud of you! 💗💗💗
a wonderful interview.
This was such a great interview! LOVE Jimbo
This is so good, I get the vibe that Jimbo would be so happy to speak to anyone & just be interested & have a good time ❤
Absolutely fabulous and fascinating interview and brilliant interviewer skills. Love love love Jimbo.
I love this. Jimbo you are a star.
Such an inspiration and her determination to win and not giving up is incredible. Your amazing JIMBO 💋
Mama kudos to that, for clowning
Casper eats burger fingers for breakfast
I've had my ticket for one of the Halifax shows since they went on sale last summer! 💛 So incredibly excited to see Jimbo live again.
I just learned so much in the first 5 minutes
Jimbo is gorgeous!
The Queen ❤!!!!! 😭😭😭😭
My mom used to grind up stick bologna with pickles, add mayo and it was my fave thing on the planet. We just called it sandwich spread. I miss it.
Cool…I live in london Ontario..didn’t know he was from here
What a GIFT
JIMBO IS A SUPERSTAR!
See you soon in Kelowna Jimbo!!!!
Currently the weirdo performer on a small island also holding the coats and shining shoes to make ends meet, so it's so so encouraging to hear that from Jimbo
She came to the States and snatched her 👑 they can't keep a good Jimbo down.
Jimbo's the only one i watch.
she did that
Icon.
Some of your fans are super square hockey moms. 🙋🏼♀️
Well hopefully your okay with opening your eyes a little and seeing something new. Every other comment is positive so where are the rest of your people?
@@nathans.5911 😆
@@nathans.5911 stop
@lukerinderknecht2982 You stop ✋️. Last time I checked my comment wasn't directed at you . Also super square hockey moms need to get with the times like the man doing the podcast they admire is by interviewing Jimbo. If you don't like it don't watch the episode . Why should he have to cater to her small mind ?
@@nathans.5911 I bet you’re fun at parties.
Having being robbed S1 of CA and UK VS World it was only right Jimbo won AS8 I mean the dominate the competition to be fair only Jessica imo was her closest competition skill set wise.
Lil James is big Jimbo I’m loving it all
If I see Jimbo, I’m clicking.
Whoa I need to check out this tour , I just saw the Sasha Colby stripped tour and I’m obsessed
I was the 1000th like!
(Sorry, never had that happen before, and I don't have much else going on in my life rn 😅)
❤
Obsessed with Jimbo but you can tell there’s lots of darkness in her past
That’s why I love her all the more bc same
Where do I apply to be adopted as her drag daugher. I would love to.
16:29, um
The keys are off 👀
not nickleback
Folk music > country
11:15 interviewer's complete lack of knowledge about drag queen really makes this a painful watch lol. so many missed opportunities to really dive deep about drag, and drag vs clowning, etc
Nymphia's body isnt even cold yet
Ok? Is no one allowed to do interviews? Are you gonna say this when the AS9 winner does an interview and jimbo doesn't
overratted. WOW had to create a entire season to male her win … meh !
Getting awful tired of these sorts.
