Trixie Mattel is taking a break from drag and won’t return “at full speed”
gaytimes.co.ukTrixie Mattel will be embarking on a “three or four month sabbatical” from drag. In an interview with Elle, the drag queen and singer-songwriter revealed that she will be taking a hiatus between July and October and won’t be active on social media, “so I’m going to really be gone for a while”.

In the years since, Trixie has released four studio albums, embarked on six headlining tours, hosted six seasons of The Pit Stop, founded the cosmetics brand Trixie Cosmetics, judged two seasons of Queen of the Universe and led her own docu-series, Trixie Motel.
With her comedy partner (and fellow season seven alum) Katya, she’s additionally hosted eight seasons of UNHhhh and over 150 episodes of their podcast The Bald and the Beautiful, starred in Netflix’s acclaimed I Like to Watch series, embarked on two tours and released two books.
