Bosco is the stage name of Chris Constantino, an American drag performer. She is most well known for competing and placing joint third on season 14 of RuPaul's Drag Race in 2022.

Early life

Constantino was raised by musicians in Great Falls, Montana.[1] She[lower-alpha 1] received formal dance training at a young age.[2]

Career

Constantino performed in drag for the first time in 2018. Bosco co-hosts a weekly drag show at Queer Bar in Seattle, Washington.[citation needed]

In 2022, she competed on season 14 of RuPaul's Drag Race. She performed a burlesque routine for the opening episode's talent show. In the fifth, ninth, and thirteenth episodes of the season, Bosco won the main challenges, winning three cash prizes of US$5,000.[3]

In episode ten, the Snatch Game, Bosco portrayed Gwenyth Paltrow, was one of the queens to land in the bottom seven, and thus participated in a lip-sync tournament which took place the following episode. She lost two lip syncs, one against Willow Pill to "Never Too Much" by Luther Vandross and one against Lady Camden to "Don't Let Go (Love)" by En Vogue. In the final lip sync, she went up against Jasmine Kennedie to "Swept Away" by Diana Ross, and won.[4]

In the twelfth episode, Bosco landed in the bottom two alongside Jorgeous and had to lip sync to "Heartbreak Hotel (Hex Hector Remix)" by Whitney Houston. She lost the lip sync but was saved after she received the Gold Bar (a twist introduced in the third episode where each queen was assigned a chocolate bar and whoever had a bar which contained a golden ticket wrapped inside would be saved from elimination). This allowed Bosco to stay in the competition.[5] In the subsequent episode, Bosco won the main challenge, which was a roast of Ross Mathews.[6]

Personal life

Constantino has lived in Seattle since 2015.[7] Constantino uses she and they pronouns out of drag and she in drag. She came out as a transgender woman in February 2022, having begun her transition after filming Drag Race.[8]
