Meet Canadas Drag Race cast of queens on Instagram Priyanka, Juice Boxx, Kyne! Tue 16 Ju

RuPaul’s Drag Race is churning out content like we’ve never seen before. Just as season 12 of the OG American series ended, Secret Celebrity Drag Race and All Stars 5 was ready to commence. Now, we even have the first-ever series of Canada’s Drag Race to keep us entertained!

The first series of Canada’s Drag Race kicks off on July 2nd, premiering on the WOW Presents Plus streaming service, on Crave in Canada and BBC Three in the UK on July 3rd.

From the looks of the series’ first trailer, we can expect as much drama, glamour and sass as ever.

So, without further ado, we thought it best to get to know the queens of Canada’s Drag Race. We found them all on Instagram to get to know them better!

Canada’s Drag Race: Cast

Meet the queens on Instagram – Anastarzia Anaquway

BOA

BOA gets her name from her real name, Ryan Boa. But she’s also used BOA as an acronym for ‘B**** On Arrival’.

This 24 year old also hails from Toronto and will have no doubt have come across Anastarzia. Although BOA already has more of a following with 11,200 supporters on Instagram and blue tick verification.

Jimbo

Jimbo – James Insell – is a 34 year old from Victoria, British Columbia.

On Instagram, Jimbo describes herself as a drag queen, clone, and designer. It’s likely all three of these talents will work in her favour on Drag Race – Jimbo could be the one to beat!

Juice Boxx

Juice Boxx, whose real name is Jo Primeau, is a 30-year-old from Toronto. She also describes herself as a “Fitness Princess” on Instagram.

This queen plays Baby Spice in Spice Queens Live, the #1 Spice Girls drag show in Canada. Here’s hoping she’s bringing some of that stage presence come July 2nd!

Kiara

Kiara is a 22-year-old queen from Montreal, and is one of the younger competitors.

Despite Kiara’s young age, this queen certainly knows how to perform. We’re expecting big things!

Kyne

Aged just 21, Kyne is the youngest queen of the group. Kyne, whose real name is Kyne Santos comes from Kitchener, Ontario.

Her Instagram bio reads: “I am a shooting star leaping through the skies, there’s no stopping me.” Probably taken from Queen’s ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’, but either way, we’re here for the confidence!

Lemon

Another young cast member, at just 24 years old, is Lemon.

Lemon hails from New York City and as of yet there is little known about the drag queen. She definitely knows how to glam up but we’ll have to see how Lemon fares against the competition. Will glam be enough?
