Attitude Presents: Out with Suzi Ruffell

Today’s guest is a true winner, baby! Jinkx Monsoon is the only drag queen to ever take home two Ru Paul’s Drag Race crowns, and over the last few years, she’s established herself as a powerhouse in the theatre world too. First she conquered Broadway, now she is taking the West End by storm, starring in the sensational Oh Mary!  I loved chatting to her about the highs and the lows and how important her community is to her. Don’t miss Jinkx Monsoon in Oh Mary! at the Trafalgar Theatre in London, UK, until 26 September: https://ohmaryplay.co.uk/  Enjoy the episode and don't forget to subscribe, follow, share, like, rate and review.

Content warning - This episode also includes discussion about religious conversion attempts through the use of exorcism and also suicide attempts Please support Bisi Alimi Foundation - https://www.bisialimifoundation.org/ I loved hearing about their story and hope you do too.
