RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 15 Episode 11 Review: Two Queens, One Joke

Stand-up comedy is without doubt one of the hardest challenges on RuPaul’s Drag Race. The judges put a whole lot of stress on the queens to craft a humorous stand-up routine. They wish to hear all of the jokes.

The most recent comedy present on RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 15 Episode 11 confirmed how sure queens may thrive (or stumble) beneath the set-up.

Both you have acquired the comedy ability, or the shortage killed all of your possibilities. Protected to say the constantly protected queen could not conceal from this showcase.

“Two Queens, One Joke” was a curler coaster of jokes and cringeworthy silence. RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 15 nonetheless has loads of comedy queens left within the competitors, so the percentages have been excessive that we would be in for a superb time.

Between Mistress continuously roasting the forged and the queens bantering with one another, we knew they might make us snicker. However delivering for the stand-up present was one other story.

The highlights of RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 15 Episode 11 began proper from the Mini Problem. Who else cherished the vogueing dance-off?

This Mini Problem is without doubt one of the greatest within the competitors. You would inform that RuPaul and the entire queens have been having a good time dancing and performing for one another. Nobody took this dance-off severely.

Class is, “I’m SO into voguing proper now.”

RuPaul

Sasha Colby and Anetra slayed the vogueing!

Each leg break up, hip flip, hair flip, duck stroll, and stunt made their dance higher each second. They threw all of it within the Werk Room, and I used to be right here for it.

And a particular shoutout to Mistress Isabelle Brooks for including some sassy clapbacks. Her stubble contact towards Luxx Noir London and the make-up gag on Marcia Marcia Marcia have been large punches; it was so intelligent and so humorous.

Now if solely Mistress’s comedic timing had landed more durable through the Maxi Problem, the result may’ve turned out otherwise. Shockingly, Mistress stumbled throughout a comedy problem; a stand-up present appeared proper up her alley.

She did properly for what she delivered, however I agreed with the judges that her jokes went on for too lengthy. She did not study the lesson the judges gave Salina EsTitties through the rehearsal and utilized it to herself.

Mistress may’ve given their staff a greater shot if she had executed that.

[In confessional] Are we that shocked? Loosey thinks she ought to win each week.

Mistress Isabelle Brooks

However, Salina’s turnaround had nice progress which helped her quite a bit throughout her stand-up. Listening to Ali Wong and Michelle Visage paid off as a result of her story was a lot funnier within the punchier model than what she did in rehearsal.

I really feel the judges anticipated Mistress and Salina to get to the highest.

Loosey LaDuca and Luxx Noir London’s chemistry throughout their routine was among the finest.

All of the arguing over Beyoncé paid off as a result of their savage one-liners made the stand-up so humorous and punchy. The stress added to the zingers, making the present really feel like a cheeky roast.

Each queens performed properly off one another.

Luxx Noir London: Why weren’t you pregnant although?
Loosey LaDuca: Umm… she wasn’t very far alongside when she introduced her being pregnant.
Luxx Noir London: You would see the bump on the purple carpet within the orange gown, and you could possibly see it within the efficiency dance.
Loosey LaDuca: I really feel such as you’re insulting B proper now.
Luxx Noir London: I’m not insulting her as a result of she was truly pregnant. I’m insulting you since you had a corset on.

Both may’ve received this problem solo, however I am joyful they received as a staff. They deliberate the routine collectively and delivered on their promise to deal with the comedy.

Plus, each acquired their long-awaited redemption of profitable one other problem. Little question somebody (*cough* Mistress *cough*) is itching to tease and name Loosey out about it.

Relating to Sasha and Anetra, they could not get into a superb rhythm with one another. That they had an idea however no concept the best way to get one another to the jokes.

Like, the place have been the jokes?!

Did anybody else discover it cringeworthy at occasions? It wasn’t a whole trainwreck, however the awkward silence made each failed joke tough.

At the very least Sasha acquired in just a few cheeky jokes close to the top. Her probabilities of touchdown on the backside two have been very slim anyway, however these fast gags have been humorous sufficient to avoid wasting her. The pair wanted extra of these jokes.

And in Marcia Marcia Marcia’s case, she barely had any jokes in any respect. As soon as once more, the place have been the jokes?!

Marcia is a Broadway queen with sturdy efficiency expertise, however she wanted a accomplice for this problem. Like, how Loosey and Luxx benefited from one another; they have been capable of bounce off their partnership and make it funnier.

The minute Salina stole Mistress from her, I knew Marcia was at risk.

Doing properly in a stand-up routine requires well-crafted jokes and good comedic timing. Marcia can do properly with improv and performing, however this problem did not really feel prefer it was in her wheelhouse. She appeared scared and able to get off that stage.

On the “Rip Her To Shreds” runway, Loosey, Lux, Sasha, Anetra, and Mistress had the highest 5 greatest appears.

Mistress’s burnt pink robe stood out as a pleasant campy different to the opposite high-fashion appears on the runway. She acquired the purpose throughout by mixing comedy with style.

And Loosey’s Victorian vampire was an elevated tackle a well known basic character.

Vampires have been all the way down to the loss of life on the Drag Race runway, however this tattered robe had a brand new spin. My solely critique would’ve been to repair the make-up, because the face regarded too chalky and closely layered.

Each Anetra and Sasha had beautiful robes that have been jaw-dropping and delightful.

I cherished how Anetra’s black and pink robe fitted her completely; every rip and cloth flowed together with her down the runway. Michelle was proper that she had the perfect runway stroll out of the group.

Sasha’s shredded denim robe was perfection! Every rip accentuated each curve in the appropriate spot, and the flowing diamonds elevated the appears. Her ensemble may simply be anyplace from the runway to a music video.

And Luxx’s style callback with the shredded arm fringes was a classy tackle an essential outfit. Utilizing a RuPaul gown as an inspiration is dangerous as RuPaul may very well be the harshest critic, however her runway hit it out of the park.

The lip-sync of “Boss Bitch” by Doja Cat left my jaw on the ground. It stayed there and waited to see if Marcia Marcia Marcia may even prime Anetra.

Each queens served a high-energy quantity that saved us all entertained. The fierce stares, the stunts, the comedy clapbacks, Anetra leaping over a crab-walking Marcia … it was perfection!

Anetra: Oh that was fast!
Luxx Noir London: She is aware of her manner round cleansing the mirror at this level. [Laughs]

Anetra was the frontrunner to win this lip-sync; her lip-sync murderer expertise all the time turn out to be useful to wow the judges. Although, the second she flew over Marcia, that sealed the destiny.

Chapter over. E book closed. Place it again on the shelf. Anetra received this lip-sync, however having each queens serve it and blow us away was a enjoyable experience.

Final Ideas From The Werk Room:

• 
  Ninety-minute episodes are again! Oh, I’ve missed you a lot. The additional size has made an enormous distinction; it appears like Drag Race once more.
  
   
• 
  The key judging panel is again too. Do not ever depart us once more!
  
   
• 
  We love a messy twist. Salina attending to steal a comedy accomplice was so deliciously merciless and enjoyable.
