No drag queens are safe as Lady Bunny hits the road for her new holiday special!
The legendary drag queen and DJ is taking no prisoners in her new Christmas show, Lady Bunny: A Very Blue X-Mas. From raunchy rewrites of classic carols to digs at popular drag queens, no topic is off-limits for the New York icon.
"Christmas is a good pocket for me to be in because everybody knows those songs. If you're parodying a song that you know never took off, like say, something on a Sharon Needles album, then nobody knows what the parody is," she tells The Advocate Channel.
Lady Bunny: A Very Blue X-Mas gives Bunny's "trademark potty-mouthed parody treatment" to over 30 Christmas anthems, with classics such as "Rudolpho the Uncut Reindeer" and “I Saw Daddy Fisting Santa Claus.” The special also includes her own rendition of "'Twas the Night Before Christmas," where she throws shade at several popular Drag Race queens.
As Bunny reads: "'Twas the night before Christmas and all through my den, not a Hunter Biden was hitting the crack pipe again. / The food was as fried as a Dita Ritz wig, and the party was as cancelled as an Anetra gig. / It was one place where laughter never ever flows: it's called Jinkx Monsoon and BenDeLaCreme's holiday shows. / Away to the windows, I heard something boozy, but it was just Matthew Perry in his Jacuzzi. / Then what to my horrified eyes should appear? Oh, shit. Lady Bunny impersonator Trixie is here."

Lady Bunny: A Very Blue X-Masopens in New York City on December 7 and runs through the 15. She moves to Catalina Jazz Club in Los Angeles on December 20, with two shows at Oscars in Palm Springs on December 21, another in San Francisco's Oasis on Deccember 23, and finally at Hamburger Mary's in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. on December 30.
The show also features Bunny as Scrooge in a skit based on A Christmas Carol, which puts thoroughly-roasted queens and other pop culture topics right back into the fire.
"You've gotta keep it fresh," she explains. "I mean, this was written by Charles Dickens in 1843 — and I remember when it came out."
