Biography
Hera Hoffer, best known under the stage name Jinkx Monsoon, is an American drag queen, actress, singer, and comedian. Named the "Queen of All Queens", she has been noted for her celebrity impersonations and quick wit. In 2013, she won the fifth season of RuPaul's Drag Race. In 2022, with an all-winners cast, she later won the seventh season of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars, becoming the first two-time winner of the show across its iterations. She made her Broadway debut in 2023, playing the role of Mama Morton in "Chicago" for eight weeks, becoming the first drag queen to perform in a major Broadway musical. Monsoon identifies as trans-femme and uses she/her pronouns. In April 2024, Hoffer legally changed her name to Hera Hoffer, but still kept her stage name of Jinkx Monsoon.
