Its essentially a live version ofThe Trixie & Katya Show.
Whats different is we incorporate current events or we get to answer fan questions.
And this year Katya and I had some semi-public ups and downs.

Ive had most of the ups; shes had most of the downs….
The best thing we can get out of it is to come up with something in the moment.
In other words, theyll cover a range of topics via their signature mode of improvised, back-and-forth dialogue.
And perhaps with a new perspective guiding Katyas brand of humor.
Weve both resolved to do drag at our own speed and do whatever we want.
But obviously her operating and doing drag in a healthier state is both easier and harder, Im sure.
If you want to see me, youre going to have toMortal Kombatthrough hundreds of crying teenage girls.
Im like the Justin Bieber of the drag world.
Thats a lovely comparison.
Youre so humble!Yeah.
But DragCon is fine!
You have to know what youre going to do.
You have to have a plan.
So I have to start making a list?Otherwise, youre going to get there and feel overwhelmed.
By the way, the food always sucks.
check that you bring some Kind bars.
Is your little Jeep coming back?No, I kind of retired that.
In the drag world if you do something once youre good, but otherwise youre an outfit repeater.
Teenage girls will fight you on YouTube.
God forbid you wear a wig twice.
Its always some fing bitch from Iowa like, Wow, you mustreallylike that fing wig.
We have to avoid pissing her off.
One thing everyones happy about, though, is your reunion with Katya.
You know that song If I Had a Hammer?
If I had a hammer I would go to my garage and start smashing…
I probably have 15 DVDs, five VHS tapes, a Blu-Ray…
I have so many copies ofContactagainst my will.
So that wont be a topic of discussion?No, I dont feature that film.
Ive never even seen it.
At this point, Im too angry to watch it because its been ruined for me.
This reunion, were seeing each other and doing a panel.
Katya and I, both times weve had a panel weve had the most attended one every year.
What kind of coverage is this?Its a full coverage.
[Long pause]Are you talking about foundation?
it’s possible for you to trust us to go out there and not lead anybody astray.
She and I solely trust our laurels.
We trust fall onto each other.
And we usually end up doing the funniest and/or most interesting thing we can come up with.
Give me something!Do you want the RuPaul answer?Were going to talk about love.Thats theDrag Raceanswer.
I mean, Id be lying if I said wed planned anything.
Katya and I sort of operate as non-drag queens but we have a community in drag.
Its essentially a live version ofThe Trixie & Katya Show.
Whats different is we incorporate current events or we get to answer fan questions.
And this year Katya and I had some semi-public ups and downs.
Ive had most of the ups; shes had most of the downs.
One year, this girl was like, I wrote an erotic fan fiction of you!
and I said, No thank you!
but she proceeded to read it anyway.
We dont have a whole lot of control!
The best thing we can get out of it is to come up with something in the moment.
We take the opportunity to interact with fans in a more direct way… its normally just us two.
Weve both resolved to do drag at our own speed and do whatever we want.
We get to operate outside of [something] like this interview, for example.
We dont have to talk about it!
What can you say about a potential season 2 ofThe Trixie & Katya Showthough?
Hes got my house bugged, but Ibed-bugged his house.
So, youve done a few DracCons now.
I prefer the L.A. one because Im lazy and its down the street from me.
The New York one is crazy.
I havent done all of my research yet, but there seem to be a few different panels.
Blair St. Clair is putting Nikki Blonsky in drag for one, I think?
Not that hes wise, he just wears long dresses and is really wrinkly.
Its kind of like the ultimate souvenir.
Are there things fans do at meet-and-greets that annoy you?
What are your tips for meet-and-greet etiquette?Dont touch anybodys hair!
In fact, dont touch anybody unless you ask first.
Also, wear deodorant.
Think of the children!
Also, know what youre going to say when you get up there to the drag queens.
Just have an idea.
Just because drag queens up close are so scary.
Its not you, its us!
It ends up being likeJurassic Worldlike, You know me, Blue.
Even the drag queens, well pick looks with no corset.
flat shoes, and hair off the neck because it gets so hot sometimes or your feet just hurt!
Rather than telling people to vote, maybe shell do a mini-challenge on voting.
She understands that it’s possible for you to influence people in a good way without preaching.
