9. Jinkx Monsoon: She’s Still Got It! (With Major Scales)
"Monsoon belts out big numbers like the biggest star on Broadway, a funny, quirky, larger than life diva who lights up the room from the moment they step on stage."

"Chloe and Tabby Tingey wear their imperfections like a badge of honour. Accompanying themselves on double bass and guitar they give us witty songs about heartbreak, small towns, bad romances and sibling rivalry."
