If you didn't catch drag superstars Trixie Mattel and Katya Zamolodchikova on their world tour — or did but want to again — here's another chance of sorts. And, you don't have to leave your couch this time.
An edited compilation of 14 live shows filmed throughout "Trixie and Katya Live" — which kicked off in 2022 and wrapped earlier this year — will be available as a livestream via Veeps June 1-15, according to a news release.
Before appearing on season seven of "RuPaul's Drag Race" and winning season three of "RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars," Mattel got her start in the Milwaukee drag scene. Mattel, also a singer-songwriter, is a co-owner of This is It!, the longest-running LGBTQ+ bar in Wisconsin and one of the oldest in the country.
Zamolodchikova, who also appeared on the seventh season of "RuPaul's Drag Race," would go on to be runner-up on the second season of "RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars."
The livestream, "Trixie & Katya Live — The Last Show," is described as "a comedic drama" and "a camp musical spectacular" in which Mattel and Zamolodchikova sign themselves up for more than they bargained for.

"Can Trixie and Katya deliver all that’s required of them by their new corporate overlords, or will they take a permanent — and deadly — hit?" the description said.
The livestream will cost $19.99. A series pass, for $29.99, will include the livestream, plus exclusive behind-the-scenes content and confessionals from the cast and crew.
Mattel and Zamolodchikova have pledged a minimum of $50,000 in proceeds from the livestream to Drag Isn’t Dangerous, with a total of $1 per livestream "ticket" sold overall going toward the fund, according to a news release.
Drag Isn't Dangerous is a campaign founded by several companies in entertainment and queer media spaces "to battle recent anti-LGBTQIA+ legislation" across the country, a news release said. Funds raised by Drag Isn't Dangerous go to nonprofits focused on LGBTQ activism and local charities combating bills against the LGBTQIA+ communities, according to the campaign's website.
“I am so happy to team up with this charity endeavor because the only danger in drag is feeling TOO good aboutyourself and loving toward others," Mattel said in a news release.
Both Mattel and Zamolodchikova recently participated in a Drag Isn’t Dangerous telethon, which featured performances, appearances and testimonials from drag artists, LGBTQ+ entertainers, celeb allies and more, per the campaign's website.
Mattel and Zamolodchikova have many solo ventures, as well as ones together, including their New York Times best-selling book titled “Trixie and Katya's Guide to Modern Womanhood" and a podcast called “The Bald And The Beautiful."
