You know her from winning RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race All Stars Season Four or Traitors; now see her changing the comedy game at Funny Bone this weekend. Mon\u00e9t X Change is on her sublimely named \u201cHigh Heels, Bad Knees\u201d North American stand-up tour, where she combines visual glam with a sharp wit, a lifetime of stories and lethal crowdwork. <\/p>\n

This new show focuses on her deciding to retire from the party-girl life and take on new challenges inside and outside drag. The drag star, actress, opera singer (!) and podcaster has notched up 15 years in the drag game, giving her an advantage in the worlds of improv and put-downs (i.e. \u201creads,\u201d for those in the drag-sphere) that some hapless Kill Tony chucklehead could only dream of. <\/p>\n

This comedy side-hustle has taken on a life of its own, leading to headline touring and appearances at Edinburgh Fringe and the Netflix Is a Joke fest. \u201cThis is an hour of curated material,\u201d she told San Francisco culture site 48 Hills. \u201cI\u2019m really proud of it.\u201d And we\u2019re ready.<\/p>\n

Various times, Friday-Saturday, Oct. 9-10, Funny Bone Comedy Club, 9101 International Drive, orlando.funnybone.com<\/a>, $33-$63.<\/p>\n
