STRAIGHT OUTTA PARIS is a new live cabaret show from one of the most hilarious and recognizable names from RuPaul's Drag Race herstory: SHANGELA LAQUIFA WADLEY. Titled as an homage to her Texas hometown, Shangela's show was written so "people can know the roots of my rowdiness." A follow-up to her first comedy hit "Halleloosin' It" (now available on DVD in English and Spanish), STRAIGHT OUTTA PARIS will take audiences on a high-speed ride from the backwoods of Paris, Texas to the runways of Drag Race and beyond. Buckle up, honey -- you know this Ho ain't insured!
With a creative mix of stand up comedy, original songs and the electrifying stage performance that Shangela has become known for, this new show promises to be loud, country and out of control... exactly what one would expect from a delusional diva that's STRAIGHT OUTTA PARIS.
