Willkommen? NOT. What Won't Be Playing Ric's Kennedy Center

'The Jinkx and DeLa Holiday Show'

For the past seven years, "RuPaul Drag Race" alumni Jinkx Monsoon and BenDeLaCreme have toured with their annual Christmas show, with each version getting bigger than the last and playing larger venues. But there appearances in DC have not been at the Kennedy Center. There most recent appearance as last year at the Lincoln Theater. We don't know if Ric is a fan, if so, he'll likely be heading across town to see them next year.

'RuPaul's Drag Race: Werq the World Tour'

This isn't much of a surprise – the numerous tours of RuPaul's Drag Race that have occurred since 2009 have not stopped at the Kennedy Center, so don't expect "RuPaul's Drag Race: Werq the World Tour" to be booked under Grenell's tenure. On the other hand, RuPaul has had some fun with the Kennedy Center Honors, notably (according to ChatGPS) Notably, in a 2022 episode titled "The Kennedy Davenport Center Honors Hall of Shade," contestants participated in a roast challenge, with the title being a humorous nod to both the Kennedy Center Honors and former contestant Kennedy Davenport. And Chad Michaels, winner of "RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars," Season One, has also performed there.
