Jimbo talks clowning, Drag Race, and winning for the weirdos
Ойын-сауық
Jimbo the Drag Clown got a taste of revenge last year. After getting eliminated from the first season of “Canada's Drag Race,” she returned to win Season 8 of “RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars.” In the midst of her North American tour, Jimbo sits down with Tom to tell us about her drag beginnings, how she uses her training as a clown to take her performances to the next level, and why everything she does is for the “unseen, beautiful weirdos” who relate to her.

My goodness, I fall in sleep after 10 mins of listening. She needs to start an ASMR
i caught a bologna at her live show! i’ve been such a fan since her meet the queens on cdr s1 and have been so inspired by her resilience and growth over the years after things didn’t necessarily go her way on the first two seasons she competed on. she doesn’t give up and she just gets better. a comedic genius.

She is a HEALER.
Jimbo is the ultimate clown and official Queen of the weirdos. Such an iconic, brilliantly funny Queen with a big heart. Dare I say, the funniest Queen as far as I'm concerned. Her run on her winning season was one of my favorites so far.
Jimbo is for real an ARTIST! Love u gworl! I'm so happy that our people are unapologetically living our stories and making art in a world that barely wants us! Thank you for being such an icon!

She's one of a kind that's for sure ❤
I love this clown discussion. Jimbo is so very clever and creative.
JIMBO IS SPECIAL !
I want to know if Jimbo has watched Baskets. 😂 Such an underrated series.
This interview is gold. Love you Jimbo!
I love Jimbo so much. I loved getting to know them better through this interview--thank you!
I heard this on the radio. It was really good. I’m so happy there’s a camera version. I’ll rewatch it :)
Jimbo is so SMART!
Jimbo is such a special person and icon 🖤
Jimbo is one of my very favourites. One of the biggest and funniest break out stars of ANY season. Nobody compares to Jimbo.
I feel like jimbo would have a blast with the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence
Absolutely obsessed with this interview...
I just LOVE Jimbo! Got my ticket to see her in May at the Savoy theatre in Glace Bay of all places!! Thanks for including us on the tour stops Jimbo! I can't wait!!
Loved this interview, thanks Tom!!! Canada loves you and Jimbo =]

I've had my ticket for one of the Halifax shows since they went on sale last summer! 💛 So incredibly excited to see Jimbo live again.
Jimbo is a REAL ARTIST! very reminiscent of LEIGH BOWERY and 80s underground art culture...i SEE the john waters campiness of JIMBO but also how new his version is.. its a mix of high drag, Disney villain, CLOWN aesthetic and vaudeville
I love this. Jimbo you are a star.
a wonderful interview.
Cool…I live in london Ontario..didn’t know he was from here
So proud of you! 💗💗💗
This is so good, I get the vibe that Jimbo would be so happy to speak to anyone & just be interested & have a good time ❤
Absolutely fabulous and fascinating interview and brilliant interviewer skills. Love love love Jimbo.
❤ Queen Jimbo
Such an inspiration and her determination to win and not giving up is incredible. Your amazing JIMBO 💋
Mama kudos to that, for clowning

What a GIFT
My mom used to grind up stick bologna with pickles, add mayo and it was my fave thing on the planet. We just called it sandwich spread. I miss it.
Jimbo is gorgeous!
she did that
Icon.
JIMBO IS A SUPERSTAR!
See you soon in Kelowna Jimbo!!!!
Currently the weirdo performer on a small island also holding the coats and shining shoes to make ends meet, so it's so so encouraging to hear that from Jimbo
Having being robbed S1 of CA and UK VS World it was only right Jimbo won AS8 I mean the dominate the competition to be fair only Jessica imo was her closest competition skill set wise.
She came to the States and snatched her 👑 they can't keep a good Jimbo down.
Jimbo's the only one i watch.

@lukerinderknecht2982 You stop ✋️. Last time I checked my comment wasn't directed at you . Also super square hockey moms need to get with the times like the man doing the podcast they admire is by interviewing Jimbo. If you don't like it don't watch the episode . Why should he have to cater to her small mind ?

Ok? Is no one allowed to do interviews? Are you gonna say this when the AS9 winner does an interview and jimbo doesn't
Getting awful tired of these sorts.
