The production was nothing short of superbly professional, with sign language interpreters ensuring accessibility for all attendees. The 20-minute intermission provided a brief respite before the spectacle resumed, leaving no dull moment throughout the evening.
In attendance were Jimbo's beloved family members, her Mom and sister, adding a touch of warmth and support to the electrifying atmosphere.
One attendee remarked, "By far the best solo drag show I have ever seen! Hilarious and entertaining. Never dull for a second.”
Another enthused, "Jimbo has proven once again that she is a look queen, a costume queen, a comedic queen, a concept queen, a dancing queen, and queen of all things that are good in drag and circus. If you have a chance to see this show near you, do not miss out!"
And one more exclaimed, “The best merch on the market."
The tour, which boasts almost 60 more shows scheduled across North America between February 29 and June 13, promises to continue captivating audiences with its unique blend of drag and circus.
