As Seen On TV is a drag extravaganza starring Art Simone and Etcetera Etcetera, who have 15 years of drag under their corsets.
The pair will break the fourth wall and perform numbers about their misadventures in drag and on screen to audiences.
Art Simone said it had always been a dream to tour Australia and share her love of drag.
"To be able to do this and also create safe and inclusive spaces for all makes it a deadset bucket-list moment. I'm stoked," she said.
Etcetera Etcetera said drag was for everyone, and she was enthusiastic about spreading the joy of self-expression across the country.
"I'm so excited to tour with my sister Art Simone and give Australia a real look inside our minds. Let's hope they like what they find," she said.
In addition to the live show, the duo will also be conducting pre-show Drag 101 workshops in a select number of towns on the tour.
Etcetera Etcetera said make up was a tool to face the adversity of day-to-day life for many trans and gender diverse people.
Unfortunately, the workshop is not scheduled for Launceston at this stage.
See the show in Launceston on May 27 at the Earl Arts Centre. Tickets are available at asseenontvtour.com.

On a Friday night you may see me at the theatre, a festival, an exhibition, or in the corner of one of my favourite establishments reading a novel.
