- 👑 The drag market is seen as oversaturated with too many queens from RuPaul's Drag Race, leading to fewer individual bookings.
- ✈️ Large tours like "Werq the World" and "Trixie and Katya Live" are popular but can take away from smaller, local gigs.
- 💡 Queens are exploring one-person shows and building their own brands to create more lucrative touring opportunities.
