No drag queens are safe as Lady Bunny hits the road for her new holiday special.
The legendary drag queen and DJ takes no prisoners in her new Christmas show, “Lady Bunny: A Very Blue X-Mas.”
From raunchy rewrites of classic carols to digs at popular drag queens, no topic is off-limits for the New York icon.
“Christmas is a good pocket for me to be in because everybody knows those songs. If you’re parodying a song that you know never took off, like say, something on a Sharon Needles album, then nobody knows what the parody is,” she tells The Advocate Channel.
“Lady Bunny: a Very Blue X-Mas” gives Bunny’s trademark potty-mouthed parody treatment to more than 30 Christmas anthems, with classics such as “Rudolpho the Uncut Reindeer” and “I Saw Daddy Fisting Santa Claus.”
As a lover of music, Bunny shares that her favorite holiday songs include “This Christmas” by Donny Hathaway, and “Greensleeves,” which she calls a “gorgeous song.”
As for her least favorite?
“I hate Lady Gaga’s dissonant version of ‘O Christmas Tree’ from a few years ago,” she says.
Bunny’s holiday special includes her own rendition of “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas,” which shades queens like RuPaul, Dida Ritz, Anetra, Trixie Mattel, Jinkx Monsoon, and BenDeLaCreme, as well as other pop culture topics like Matthew Perry, Hunter Biden, and the “Barbie” movie.

“You’ve gotta keep it fresh,” Bunny
