The Trixie & Katya Show is an American comedy television series featuring drag queens Trixie Mattel and Katya Zamolodchikova, who both rose to prominence competing on the seventh season of RuPaul's Drag Race. The show is a spin-off of the YouTube series UNHhhh,[1] which turned both Trixie and Katya into "viral internet stars".[2]
