Jimbo talks clown school & “making costumes for b*tches,” reveals Snatch Game character she almost used
Canada’s Drag Race, we knew Jimbo was headed for great things—both within the wider world of Drag Race and beyond.Now, just over three years later, she emerges from All Stars 8 victorious, having won us all over with her off-kilter sense of humor, her high fashion/high camp drag, her unforgettable Shirley Temple dance moves, and more than a few slices of baloney.Yes, Jimbo is truly one of the most singular queens to ever grace the main stage, one with an uncanny ability to always know what’ll make RuPaul—and her audience—laugh.
But her crowning is the result of years of hard work, dating all the way back to the clowning classes that helped her find the joy within herself and how to share it with the world.After an eventful weekend, Queerty caught up with latest inductee into the Drag Race Hall Of Fame to find out all about the clown school lessons that helped her snatch the crown.
Plus, Jimbo reveals which mega-famous pop icon texted her after her win, shares the Snatch Game character that almost was, and reflects on her former job designing costumes for dogs. (But who’s easier to work with—dogs or drag queens?
You’ll never guess!)A post shared by Jimbo (@jimbothedragclown)Congratulations, Jimbo! We’re so excited to see a crown on your head.
