Anita Wigl'it was one of three New Zealanders on the first series of RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under and one of the two who had already hosted her own drag competition on New Zealand TV, "Haus of Drag". Despite this, she got bumped pretty early, and after coming back for "Drag Race: Canada vs The World" she got bumped from that pretty early too. And now she's got a solo tour where she tells her background and her future.
Unfortunately, there isn't much to her background beyond a fairly regular childhood interrupted by occasional fashion faux pas, an increasing taste for crossdressing, and one traumatic personal incident. Despite shooehorning in a couple of lipsyncs there's not quite enough there to make for a show that's compelling all the way through - Wigl'it has a certain charm but draws a few too many jokes from the bitter side of the pile in a show that falls flatter than it should.
