Beverly Kills is best known for their time on RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under Season 2. Since then, they've had a successful Fringe run with their show Heaven & Hell.

This week, Hannah and Beverly talk about the reality of life post-Drag Race, the importance of focusing on your personal well-being and redefining success. They also recap on their own on-screen drama, their growth since the show... and Beverly has some big news before the end of the episode!
