Dropout today announced their new variety talk series Monét’s Slumber Party, starring drag icon and award-winning host Monét X Change. In this edgy, playful and queer variety show, Monét X Change will welcome friends, comedians and other celebrities to an adult sleepover. Combining honest conversation with a little mischief, Monét’s Slumber Party will tackle taboo subjects like sex, dating and relationships with openness and humor. Each episode of the six-episode first season will bring Monét together with four guests for games, storytelling, how-to-segments and more. The talk variety series – the first of its kind on Dropout’s platform – will premiere July 19th, with new episodes launching every other Friday.
Guests this season include recurring Dropout talent (Sam Reich, Brennan Lee Mulligan, Isabella Roland, Grant O’Brien, Oscar Montoya, among others) in addition to celebrity guests like Adam Rippon, Rachel Bloom and Joel Kim Booster; drag queens like Kim Chi, Naomi Smalls, Jujubee, Alaska Thunderfuck, Bob the Drag Queen, Meatball and Persephone Valentine; and comedians like Atsuko Okatsuka and Roz Hernandez.
Like Pee-Wee’s Playhouse, the set comes to life with in-universe characters (cameos, puppets) who transition us to new segments, do interstitial bits, commentate on what’s happening, and serve as general helpers and friends in Monét’s world. Recurring characters this season include Priscilla Davies, Jonathan Kidder and Kevin McDonald.
