RuPaul’s Drag Race UK vs The World Season Two winner, Tia Kofi, brings her geeky-ness-meets-drag podcast, The Final FronTia, to Edinburgh Fringe 2025 Live! Upon entry, the audience was greeted by Tia Kofi and co-host, Baby Belle, already chatting on stage. Giving the impression that this is a time to relax and have fun – almost like hanging with your friends.

Once everyone was seated, Kofi & Belle performed “Glitter Boots Saved My Life” by Saucy Jack and the Space Vixens. Then bantered with the audience before welcoming in their extra special guest, Art Simone of RuPaul’s Drag Race Australia Season One!

Simone, who is performing Fountain Lakes in Lockdown: A Drag Parody Play at the Fringe this year, chatted with Kofi about their experiences on drag race, rumors, gossip and more! After, Baby Belle joined the pair on stage and the audience was able to ask Simone questions. This was followed by a RuPaul’s Drag Race trivia game and then the evening was capped off with a sing and dance along of Rocky Horror Picture Show’s “Time Warp!”

Tia Kofi Presents The Final FronTia Live was a fun, interactive evening show with loads of laughs and piping hot tea! Kofi is a natural on stage and is such a delight to watch, this wasn’t like watching a podcast recording, it was like sitting in a friend’s living room and having a game night. Just a silly, good time.
