Two Exclusive Performances Set for Johannesburg and Cape Town this November
Legendary RuPaul’s Drag Race icon and fan favourite, Latrice Royale, is set to make a triumphant return to South Africa this November for two dazzling live performances: one in Cape Town and one in Johannesburg.
This marks the celebrated performer’s first visit to South Africa in 13 years, and fans can expect all the charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent that have made Latrice an international drag superstar, with her acclaimed show: Terms and Conditions May Vary.

Since then, she’s become one of the world’s most respected and adored drag performers, touring globally with sold-out shows and spreading her message of self-love, joy, and resilience.
Latrice’s South African tour will feature a star-studded line-up, including her husband, Christopher Hamblin, and three of South Africa’s most celebrated drag performers: Manila Von Teez, Kat Gilardi, and Stella Rosé, making this a glittering showcase of international and local drag excellence.
