At least that is what the [queer-owned and operated](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/queer-spirits) Revry is attempting to do with 'The Drag Roast of Heklina' which is boldly described as "raucously hysterical, fabulously foul-mouthed, star-studded" special. The show features a daring drag roast of some notable [LGBTQ celebrities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/i-wool-survive), including Alaska Thunderfuck, Jacke Beat, Bob the Drag Queen, Sister Roma, Peaches Christ and more. Clearly at the intersection of [drag and comedy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roast-me-ai), the show is a testimony to sisterhood, friendship, and the entertaining capabilities of a vibrant community. Revry's drag roast is directed and dedicated to one of San Francisco's well-known queens -- Heklina who has been active on the scene for over 20 years. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.7/10 - Popularity: 4% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Humor](https://www.trendhunter.com/humor) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Stigma-breaking Drag Roasts:** The intersection of drag and comedy offers a platform for barrier-breaking and empowerment, creating opportunities for brands to support social justice causes and engage with the LGBTQ+ community. - **Celebrity Roasting Shows:** From drag roasts to traditional comedy roasts, there is a growing appetite for irreverent and outrageous celebrity roast shows, presenting an opportunity for networks and streaming platforms to tap into this trend with fresh and innovative approaches. - **Raucously Hysterical Entertainment:** Audiences are craving raucously hysterical and boundary-pushing entertainment that is star-studded, fabulously foul-mouthed and - thanks to the rise of digital platforms - more accessible than ever before. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Entertainment:** The rise of irreverent celebrity roast shows and demand for raucously entertaining content create opportunities for entertainment brands to attract audiences by embracing comedy and boundary-pushing programming. - **Streaming:** Streaming platforms present an opportunity for businesses to engage with audiences interested in drag roasts and other boundary-pushing content, delivered directly to their devices. - **Social Justice:** The Drag Roast of Heklina is an example of how brands can support social justice causes and engage with communities that may have traditionally been excluded from mainstream media, demonstrating a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion across industries. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Record-Breaking Drag Brunches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drag-brunch.md) - [Drag Brunch Tours](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taco-bell-drag-brunch.md) - [Drag Culture Video Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drag-her-video-game.md) - [Canned Drag Queen Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/houseoflove-cocktails.md) - [Digital Drag Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drag-me.md) - [Inclusive LGBTQ+ Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inclusive-lgbtq-event.md) - [Limited-Edition Pride Pre-Rolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pride-prerolls.md) - [Humorous Holiday Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roast-host-collection.md) - [Pride Month-Honoring Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hayu-pride-cookie.md)
