Acting Challenge

The Acting Challenge is a challenge where the contestants are assigned particular roles and their acting skills are put to the test in order to win the main challenge. This challenge is very comedy-related and usually is a parody of a real TV program or film.

Trivia

This was the first challenge to have a Tied Win in Drag Race Herstory (between Alexis Mateo and Shangela in Season 3).
- After this, tied wins have been had between:
  - Angele Anang, Bandit, Genie, Mocha Diva and Vanda Miss Joaquim on DRT Season 2
  - Scarlet Envy and Yvie Oddly on Season 11
  - Ella Vaday and Kitty Scott-Claus on UK Season 3
Season 5, Season 7, Season 13 and Season 14 are the only seasons to have more than one acting challenge.
Two of Alyssa Edwards's eliminations were on acting challenges.
Shangela and Trinity The Tuck are the only contestants to win two different acting challenges.
Sherry Pie is the only disqualified contestant to win an acting challenge.
Latrice Royale has the biggest placement difference on Acting Challenges. She went from winning the one on Season 4 and was eliminated on her second one on All Stars 4.
DRT Season 1 is the only season to feature the full cast in an Acting Challenge.
- This was due to the eliminated queens being brought back to fill in the rest of roles in the full production.
DRT Season 2 featured both Tied Win and Double Sashay during their Acting Challenge.
