“Heklina is Drag’s most enduring professional who has broken barriers and is one of the formative creators of the big business that is Drag. Revry is proud to produce this special for not only an Icon, but with our current drag Super Stars.” – LaShawn McGhee, Revry CPO
Revry presents The Drag Roast Of Heklina featuring a talented dais of roasters including noted LGBTQ celebrities, Alaska Thunderfuck, Jackie Beat, Jinkx Monsoon, Bob the Drag Queen, Sister Roma, Julie Brown, and Peaches Christ. Watch as a panel of iconic drag superstars and comedians grill drag legend Heklina.
In speaking with the creaters, they advised, that throughout their career, they’ve worked in various capacities with a range of drag queens and comedians. After the success in recent years of celebrity roasts, and in the increasingly high-stress and polictically-correct atmosphere we live in, they wanted to bring the genres of comedy and drag together to bring some levity to the world. Underneath the shade that most people associate with drag queen humor, there is a deep bond of friendship and sisterhood. With the Drag Roast series, they wanted to showcase how drag can not only entertain, but also help us face reality and deal with it, through cruel, harsh and tasteless jokes.
With The Drag Roast of Heklina, the goal is to honor one of San Francisco’s most well-known drag queens. Heklina has been doing drag for over 20 years and is well known for her influence in San Francisco’s LGBTQ community, whether it be through Mother, her parody shows, or her landmark venue The Oasis. In order to provide her with the honor she deserved, we gathered some of her closest friends and esteemed colleagues to roast her in a night she’ll never forget.
