What did our critic think of THE JINKX & DELA HOLIDAY SHOW LIVE at The Fitzgerald Theater?

Drag queens are rarely charged with the crime of being understated so it is hardly surprising that San Fran’s Peaches Christ and her co-host Edwin Outwater chose to partner up with the Royal Albert Hall for the UK debut of their perennial Christmas show.

The Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Show sold out Town Hall this year, and it should sell out Town Hall every year.
