Bianca del Rio, the winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race during its sixth season, is returning to Manila for her world comedy tour, Dead Inside.
The show will be on January 17, 2025, at the New Frontier Theater in Quezon City.
Dead Inside will be del Rio’s third visit to Manila, following It’s Jester Joke in 2019 and Bianca Del Rio: UNSANITIZED in 2022.
Del Rio, who won the 6th season of RuPaul’s Drag Race, is described as the Queen of Mean.
She is known for her sharp tongue, quick comebacks, and unapologetic humor, and her no-holds-barred comedy has captivated audiences around the globe.
Fans can expect del Rio’s trademark humor: raw, uncensored, and guaranteed to leave you wanting more. Whether she’s roasting celebrities, cracking jokes about politics, or throwing shade at fans, the queen holds nothing back—everything and everyone is fair game.
In an interview with Another, the queen mentioned that she named her tour Dead Inside because she “wanted to talk about being an elderly drag queen, so I thought, ‘Let me start with that.’”

In an intimate interview, we asked her how her comedy has changed through the years, and she said, “It’s gotten even funnier because getting old is a joke. So yes, I never thought I’d be doing this as long as I’ve been doing it. So this whole Dead Inside thing is that I’ve become numb to all of it.“
Del Rio also spoke about how comedy, in general, has changed.
She said, “I think now that we have a lot with cancel culture. I think the one thing that makes it difficult with social media is context. For instance, if someone is filming part of your show and they just film the punchline where you don’t necessarily know the setup. I think people often judge by a two-second clip as opposed to knowing the whole story or the backstory of where the comedy comes from.”
Del Rio added, “I think that’s just people’s voices. It’s just people’s opinions of what’s going on, but I try not to let that defer me. If someone is interested in what I do, they understand it. And usually, it’s smart people. But I also find that if someone’s not interested in what you’re doing, they’re going to do everything in their power to say, ‘I don’t like this.’ Well, that’s great. That’s your opinion.”
She also has advice for people who are starting: “I always encourage anybody who’s starting to not let it get in your head.“
