As the all-winners season of Drag Race continues on Paramount+, fans of the show have been reveling in the hilarious performances put on by some of their favorite comedy queens who have taken home the crown.
Being good at makeup and looking good is a big part of what makes a good drag queen, but being funny is the extra element that can take a queen from the local clubs to the main stage of RuPaul's Drag Race. The funniest queens are often remembered by fans even if they didn't take home the crown. Some queens have found even bigger success outside the show because of their ability to make audiences laugh until they cry.
Ginger Minj
Ginger Minj is funny for many reasons, but one of them is her references to past comedians and her ability to turn into those people. On both her season of Drag Race and All-Stars, the self-proclaimed "glamour toad" proved that while she could turn beautiful looks, her strength was her comedy.
Her Snatch Game performances are some of the funniest ever to grace the stage. Ginger can also read the other queens with the best of them. Her southern belle brand of comedy has made her a fan favorite.
Jinx Monsoon
There is something about Jinx Monsoon's theater-based, vintage comedy that connected with fans in season 5. Jinx has a particular style in her delivery of humor and shade that had never been seen on the show and has yet to be replicated in other seasons.
Jinx understands that she may not be the most fashionable queen, but she knows she is funny and plays to that strength. Her unique brand of humor shines in challenges like Snatch Game, where she can show off her improv skills and comfortability playing a character.
Katya
Katya knows that she is one of the weirdest Drag Race queens to ever be on the show, which is part of what makes her so funny. But Katya doesn't have to shy away from the stranger parts of her personality, which allows her to push the boundaries of what she finds amusing and how people will respond.
Katya's obscure references to pop culture and what she finds funny set her apart from the other queens she has competed against. She only got funnier when she paired her wacky comedy with Trixie Mattel's dark humor to make a comedy dream team.
Trixie Mattel
Only a few people can genuinely pull off dark humor, and no one does dark comedy like Trixie Mattel. As one of Reddit's favorite Drag Race queens, Trixie has taken her unique style of humor and turned it into an integral part of her brand.
Despite her over-the-top makeup and vintage fashion, there is something relatable about Trixie's humor that resonates with people who love Drag Race and those who just love comedy. Trixie also commits to every bit, making even the tamest performances hilarious.
Nina West
Nina West has a similar comedy style to Harvey Fierstein but also has an excellent heart-warming quality that endears people to her. Nina's classic drag style hadn't been seen on the show for a long time, but it connected with fans, which helped her win Miss Congeniality.
Nina's family-friendly brand of comedy has helped her become an advocate for children learning about diverse families and is part of the reason she will never appear on All-Stars. Nina's nice girl comedy may never be duplicated but will never be forgotten.
Shangela
Shangela's larger-than-life personality won her a spot on three different seasons of Drag Race. Her shady commentary made her the narrator of whatever season she appeared on, and fans couldn't wait to hear what Shangie had to say about the other girls. Her iconic one-liners have lived on in drag history.
Shangela's ability to read any queen at any moment kept fans laughing until they cried. Her impeccable timing for a joke and commitment to any character she plays makes her one of the funniest ever to compete.
Bob The Drag Queen
Bob the Drag Queen is a veteran of the drag world. In both the acting challenges on her season and the roast on Secret Celebrity Drag Race, Bob showed that they could not only read someone but also commit to a character and make them funny, no matter the situation.
Bob's knowledge of drag history allows them to draw on many different influences, enabling them to adjust their jokes to fit any crowd, making it impossible not to laugh at their live shows and Drag Race performances.
Bianca Del Rio
Bianca Del Rio made it clear she deserved to win RuPaul's Drag Race from the first challenge. Her brand of comedy is not for the faint of heart, as much of her comedy is rooted in roast-style comedy. Part of what makes Bianca so funny is that her insults and shade seem to come effortlessly to her.
Some of her best reads are ones that may seem like a compliment but are actually as shady as they come. There has yet to be another queen as mean but funny as Bianca Del Rio.
Jujubee
Jujubee has never met someone she couldn't make laugh. From her impressions on Snatch Game to her commentary during confessional, Jujubee has made fans cackle in joy. Jujubee's comedy has evolved with her drag and has only gotten more complex over time. Jujubee is effortlessly funny, which makes her even more endearing.
Jujubee is one of four queens who has appeared in the competition four times, but fans have yet to tire of Jujubee's outlandish comedy and off-the-wall commentary. Jujubee also has a knack for impressions that seems integral to being a legendary comedy queen.
Mo Heart
From "brown cow stunning" to "facts are facts, America," Mo Heart's commentary kept fans laughing from her appearance in season 10 to All-Stars season four. Originally coined as a look queen, she proved she was more than just glamour and fashion.
Mo Heart's straightforward and confident delivery of any line in a comedy challenge had the judges laughing and her fellow competitors. Like Jujubee, she became the narrator of her respective seasons, and fans could not get enough of Mo's opinions on the other queens.
