The quiz, hosted by Yellow Elephant Promotions, will be held at Walkabout Birmingham next month, with a £80 prize up for grabs.

RuPaul's Drag Race first aired in 2009, and pits drag queens against each other in a number of challenges to earn the tittle of the World's Next Drag Superstar.

The programme has launched the careers of such drag stars as Bianca Del Rio, Sharon Needles, Alaska, Raven, Alyssa Edwards, Adore Delano, Katya Zamolodchikova, Trixie Mattel and more; with 113 queens competing on the show since it began.

The show has spanned 12 seasons - including three All Stars seasons - and has become the highest-rated television programme on Logo TV. Spin-off shows RuVealed, Drag U and UnTucked were also inspired by the original franchise.
