Break out the fire extinguishers — Darlene Mitchell is officially heading to Australia and New Zealand, joining the lineup for Drag Roast 2026 in what marks her highly anticipated first visit to the region.
The breakout star of RuPaul's Drag Race Season 18 quickly became a fan favourite thanks to her unpredictable humour, fearless delivery, and a talent for reads that toe the line between outrageous and unforgettable. Now, she’s bringing that same chaotic energy to one of the most savage touring formats on the drag circuit.
Best known for her unapologetic one-liners and viral moments, Mitchell has already cemented herself as a standout voice of her season. Whether she’s declaring “She’s corny!” or tearing into her fellow queens with razor-sharp precision, her comedic style is equal parts absurd and biting — a perfect fit for the no-holds-barred world of Drag Roast.
Producers say audiences can expect an unfiltered performance packed with brutal reads, wild crowd work, and the kind of unhinged commentary that has made Mitchell one of the most talked-about new queens in the franchise.
With Drag Roast 2026 promising bigger names, sharper tongues, and zero mercy, Darlene Mitchell’s addition signals a clear warning to the rest of the lineup: nothing — and no one — is off limits.
