Yvie Oddly

1 upcoming festival

Drag Race season eleven winner and a genuinely strange performer, who backs the contortion with actual records — oddity as artistry.

Yvie Oddly is the drag persona of Jovan Bridges, a performer from Denver, Colorado. She won the eleventh season of RuPaul's Drag Race in 2019, standing out for conceptual costuming and for a contortion-based physical style connected to Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a condition she has spoken about publicly.

Alongside touring as a drag artist she records and releases her own music, working mostly in hip-hop and club-pop modes, and her stage shows combine rapping and lip-sync with the body-bending choreography that made her name on television. The overall effect leans deliberately toward the grotesque and the surreal rather than the polished glamour more common in televised drag.
