  • I’ve always been interested in drag and enjoyed watching shows and that sort of naturally progressed into me starting drag. My drag is inspired by your traditional old school, campy, musical theatre queens but with a touch of vintage inspiration 

  • My first proper performance in the village was at EVA when they did the evalution shows. To be fair I don’t remember too much of it because I was so nervous I went through nearly a bottle of gin🤣 but my most distinct memory from it was performing away by the pussycat dolls, it’s still one of my favourite numbers to this day

  • Glamorous, sparkly, boobs.

  • EVA, it’s where I got my start in drag and where I’ve seen myself grow from a shy little baby queen who was dead quiet on the door to a much more confident host

  • One moment I’ll never forget is when I competed in dragtastic 2025 at barpop and won my heat. I’ll never forget the feeling of joy and pride because going into it all I wanted was to build my confidence on stage so to win my heat was an incredible feeling

  • My drag inspiration aesthetically comes mainly from theatre/television. Particularly shows like burlesque/ moulin rouge/ Chicago. Performance wise one of my biggest drag inspirations is Mary Mac. Shes one of the best performers I’ve ever seen and someone I really look up to.

  • To me being part of the village is very special as it’s where I found my queer family. I came out at 18 and being a part of the village really gave me the confidence to come out and be openly gay

  • One of my favourite songs to sing is the years and years version of it’s a sin.

  • After seeing me perform I want an audience to feel excited. I like doing quite upbeat party numbers that leaves a room in the mood to dance!

  • My former drag name was Guppi because I took an online quiz that picked your drag name and it was your first pet’s name and I had a fish called Guppi!

  • How physically demanding it can be, all the tights, corsets, heels really takes a toll on your body, it’s why I’m always wearing crocs soon as I step off the stage🤣

  • I’m someone who gets very overwhelmed very easily so I have to listen to quite chill music. Some of my favourites to listen to are crazy by patsy cline and always/ goodnight by Cynthia Erivo

  • Right now one of the things that is bringing me joy most is reading. Working in nightlife can be quite hectic so it’s nice to just take some time by myself to have some peace and quiet and read a good book.

  • One thing I love is just how many different styles of drag you can find in the village. There’s such a wide variety so there’s something for everyone to go and see!

  • One piece of advice I’d give to baby queens is just get out there and talk to people, if you want some advice just ask! Majority of queens are more than happy to help.
