“People always told me I could never pursue comedy: ‘You’re too thin, you’re too pretty, and too sexy!’” Trixie said of the special in an exclusive statement provided to EW. “This special is me proving all of them wrong.”

Each project was directed by The Mothman Prophecies producer Adrienne Gruben, and, outside Canada, will be available globally on TVOD platforms like iTunes, Google, and Amazon following their OUTtv bow.

A feature-length documentary titled The Queens — starring Katya, Alaska, season 5 winner Jinkx Monsoon, and season 4 champ Sharon Needles — will precede the specials on Friday, Sept. 13 at 10 p.m. ET/PT. The film follows four of the world’s leading drag queens as they perform on stages around the world while grappling with “major tragedies” and their busy careers, according to the movie’s synopsis.

“Drag, as an industry, has seen such explosive growth over the past few years, and we could not be happier to showcase the diverse talents of our clients in both the comedy specials and the documentary,” said Jacob Slane, a partner and talent manager at Producer Entertainment Group. “We are excited to once again be doing business with OUTtv, who has always been a supportive partner to drag artists and to our company.”

The alter ego of comic/actor Caldwell Tidicue, “Bob the Drag Queen” describes herself as “hilarious, beautiful, talented and… humble.” Bob’s unabashed confidence won her the title of America’s Next Drag Superstar on season 8 of RuPaul’s Drag Race, acting roles in the HBO series High Maintenance, Sony TriStar’s movie Rough Night, and more. Bob’s first stand-up comedy special, Suspiciously Large Woman, premiered on cable and streaming networks worldwide, and is now available on iTunes and other platforms.

He also co-hosts the popular Sibling Rivalry video podcast with good friend and fellow drag queen Monét X Change.

A bizarre cosmic collision propelled Alaska to earth and onto the fifth season of RuPaul’s Drag Race, where she finished in the final three before returning and taking the crown as winner of season two of RuPaul’s Drag Race All-Stars. She has released three chart-topping studio albums, Anus, Poundcake and Vagina, (available on iTunes), been a cast member of VH1’s hit reality series Scared Famous, acted in the final Sharknado movie, released a young adult novel, and toured the globe spreading her otherworldly message of love, kindness, and gender non-conformity.
