Bob The Drag Queen plays King Herod in Jesus Christ Superstar from 16 to 21 November 2026. He joins Sam Ryder at Theatre Royal Drury Lane.
From Drag Race royalty to King Herod: Bob is heading to the West End for one week. Here’s when to catch him.
The comedian, actor and RuPaul’s Drag Race season eight winner plays Herod from Monday 16 to Saturday 21 November 2026. Sam Ryder leads the cast as Jesus. For London fans, it’s a chance to see Bob in a different setting. You might know him from the screen, the stage or Sibling Rivalry with Monét X Change.
Meanwhile, Jesus Christ Superstar charts the final days of Jesus’s life through Judas’s perspective. The score includes the tender ‘I Don’t Know How to Love Him’. It also features the intense ‘Gethsemane’ and the title song, ‘Superstar’.
From Drag Race to the West End
For Bob, the engagement follows a Broadway debut as Harold Zidler in Moulin Rouge! The Musical. His credits also include We’re Here and the podcast Sibling Rivalry. Together with Drag Race, they’ve made his comic voice familiar to queer audiences on both sides of the Atlantic.
If Bob is your reason to book, choose a performance between 16 and 21 November. His appearance is limited to that week. However, the wider Drury Lane season continues into January.
Bob The Drag Queen plays King Herod in Jesus Christ Superstar, 16–21 November 2026, at Theatre Royal Drury Lane, Catherine Street, London WC2B 5JF. Book tickets for Bob’s week, here.
