Sasha Velour is a gender-fluid drag queen who entered the international stage after winning season 9 of the Emmy-winning reality TV competition, Rupaul's Drag Race. She is the creator and director of the acclaimed drag revue Nightgowns, which she has produced in theatres in New York, London, and Los Angeles and has now been adapted into an 8-part docuseries for the new streaming platform, Quibi. Velour's live performances have been called "an entirely new level of performance art" (Yahoo) and "heart-wrenching" (Billboard).

She has pioneered the use of projection mapping in lip-synch drag performances and is known for combining emotional pathos with theatrical stunts. In September 2018 she collaborated with Opening Ceremony to produce, direct, and host their Fall New York Fashion Week Show, better known as "The Gift of Showz". In December that year, Velour spoke and performed at The Smithsonian's The Long Conversation among the world's leading cancer surgeons and NASA scientists, to share how the power of drag can provide optimism for the future. Now, she brings Smoke & Mirrors to the UK and Ireland promising a uniquely spectacular night of drag.
