'RuPaul's Drag Race' stars will perform in drive-in drag shows throughout the U.S., as gay bars and clubs remain closed due to the pandemic.
July 17, 2020, 5:27 PM UTCDrag queens are among those who have been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic. With gay bars and clubs — typically the venues of choice for these performers — still closed or unable to host indoor events, the queens have largely lost their courts and their sources of income. Fans of drag have also lost a distracting form of entertainment, which many are thirsty for after months of social distancing.
One group of performers, however, has come up with an innovative and relatively pandemic-friendly solution: drive-in drag shows, where audience members can experience live shows from the comfort and safety of their own cars., told NBC News. “People need to get out of the house. These are difficult times. The opportunity to put our people back to work and bring our fanbase a little joy in what is truly the s---tiest of times makes it worth all the hard work.
