Get ready, glamazons! Sasha Colby, your favorite drag queen’s favorite drag queen, is back and bigger than ever. The RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 15 winner is hitting the road once again with a revamped and reimagined production of her acclaimed Stripped Tour — and she’s taking audiences along for the ride.
The new production, Stripped II, kicks off Sept. 16 in Seattle, Washington, and will hit 28 cities across North America, including stops in Los Angeles, Toronto, New York and more. The tour wraps up in Colby’s home state of Hawaii with a final performance in Honolulu on Nov. 15.

“Even though this upcoming set of shows is Stripped, it is not the same Stripped show as last year. It’s Stripped II, which is telling different stories,” Colby said in an exclusive interview with Out magazine. “The first Stripped Tour was more centered around my life experiences that brought me to where I am today. With Stripped II, I want to tell different stories about trans experiences and queer experiences that are more general and universal.”
The tour comes at a time when LGBTQ+ communities across the United States are facing increasing challenges, with anti-LGBTQ+ legislation on the rise. But Colby is undeterred. In fact, she’s using her platform to stand louder and prouder than ever.
“Obviously, with the state of mankind right now, it is really scary to be one’s authentic self,” she said. “But our queer strength and community are what will get us through these hard times. It is so important right now to be out, loud and proud — that is the number one weapon in our arsenal to fight back against hatred and sheer stupidity.”
Colby says the tour is not just entertainment — it’s a celebration of resilience, creativity and authenticity.

“Immersing myself in creativity is one of the ways I like to do my own work against hatred,” she said. “I always say, if we don’t like the world that we’re looking at, let’s turn ourselves inwards and make the world we want inside reflect to everyone else.”
Tickets for Stripped II go on artist pre-sale Tuesday, April 22. General on-sale begins Friday, April 25 via Sasha Colby’s official website.
