Drag icon and RuPaul’s Drag Race winner Monét X Change is taking her comedy nationwide. The multi-hyphenate entertainer revealed dates for her 2026 tour, High Heels, Bad Knees, covering nine U.S. cities from February 20 to May 23, including Palm Springs, Spokane, and Minneapolis, with more stops to be announced. Tickets are available now at monetxchange.com.
Comedy Meets Chaos
The show promises a wild, irreverent hour of stand-up exploring adulting, aging, and the hazards of slightly worn-out knees. From awkward airplane middle seats to personal tales of conception struggles, Monét delivers razor-sharp humor with unfiltered charm. Fans can expect a mix of risqué jokes, physical comedy, and personal storytelling that only a performer of her caliber could pull off.
“I am beyond excited and proud of this new hour of stand-up comedy!” Monét said. “This show is inspirational and aspirational, if you’re nasty! I’m talking about everything, from how Black don’t crack to how my knees sure do. Some stories you’ll have to see live to believe!”
From Drag Superstar to Comedy Powerhouse
Born in New York City and based in Los Angeles, Monét has long been celebrated for her commanding stage presence and storytelling talent. Her previous one-woman show, Life Be Lifin’, received acclaim from Playbill and other outlets, with comparisons to comedians like Mike Birbiglia. She has performed at sold-out theaters and comedy clubs across the U.S., U.K., and Canada, as well as at the Edinburgh Fringe and Netflix Is a Joke festivals.
In addition to live comedy, Monét co-hosts the GLAAD Media Award-winning podcast Sibling Rivalry with Bob the Drag Queen and recently launched the YouTube chat show Monét Talks. On screen, she’s known for multiple seasons of RuPaul’s Drag Race, her All Stars 4 crown win, Netflix’s Survival of the Thickest, and appearances on CBS’s After Midnight with Taylor Tomlinson.
