Katya, the self-proclaimed “Sweatiest Woman in Show Business,” is a beloved entertainer who co-hosts the hit YouTube series “UNHhhh” and Netflix’s “I Like to Watch.” She is a New York Times best-selling co-author and recently completed a sold-out 80+ stop global theater tour, culminating in her first TV standup special, “Help Me I’m Dying.” Katya’s unique comedic perspective and bold personality make her a standout in the world of drag and entertainment.
