Jimbo the Drag Clown got a taste of revenge last year. After getting eliminated from the first season of “Canada's Drag Race,” she returned to win Season 8 of “RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars.” In the midst of her North American tour, Jimbo sits down with Tom to tell us about her drag beginnings, how she uses her training as a clown to take her performances to the next level, and why everything she does is for the “unseen, beautiful weirdos” who relate to her.

i caught a bologna at her live show! i’ve been such a fan since her meet the queens on cdr s1 and have been so inspired by her resilience and growth over the years after things didn’t necessarily go her way on the first two seasons she competed on. she doesn’t give up and she just gets better. a comedic genius.

Jimbo is the ultimate clown and official Queen of the weirdos. Such an iconic, brilliantly funny Queen with a big heart. Dare I say, the funniest Queen as far as I'm concerned. Her run on her winning season was one of my favorites so far.

Jimbo is a REAL ARTIST! very reminiscent of LEIGH BOWERY and 80s underground art culture...i SEE the john waters campiness of JIMBO but also how new his version is.. its a mix of high drag, Disney villain, CLOWN aesthetic and vaudeville

Also super square hockey moms need to get with the times like the man doing the podcast they admire is by interviewing Jimbo. If you don't like it don't watch the episode . Why should he have to cater to her small mind ?
