Cabaret, horror, theatre, lipsync, live vocals, camp comedy, vaudeville, burlesque and so forth are fuelling the UK drag scene and filling our LGBTQ clubs and events.
Photo by How important is it for you to include underage fans?ĭragPunk: It’s super important to give them an outlet outside of Dragrace which is where most get their references from, especially to show the hugely diverse world of UK drag. We tried hard to plan our support show, our tracks, and so that effort paid off it seems! Lilith performing at the ‘Whatever’ tour. Amber’s performance all about gender spoke the language that they understood.
We had a sense of fun but also some simple universal but needed messages about how it’s okay to be and feel different that were in our show. They can’t get into LGBTQ venues or events so we showed a side to that, and drag, that was outside of the TV (ie Dragrace).
We think the younger fans love of drag, is a love of difference and just wanting to feel a part of something, to be noticed and heard. It was near the near the end of the tour so felt like a personal let-your-hair-down-moment for us all.ĭA: You’ve got so much fantastic support from the younger fans after the success of the Adore tour, why do you think that is?ĭragPunk: That was so unexpected and so rewarding. We chat to the group to talk about Halloween, their incredible fan base and Dragula.ĭragadventures: Last time we spoke to you, you were gearing up for the Adore Delano Whatever tour, how was that for you as a group?ĭragPunk: That was amazing and really changed a lot for us – in terms of what we learned on and off stage, and giving us a new sense of purpose and engagement with people! It was entirely fun which was the best part – everyone from Adore, her team and the band to Dragworld were so cool, laid back and professional! Paule Aleksander at the ‘Whatever tour’ Photo by Out of all the memories made from the tour what sticks out for you as the main moment?ĭragPunk: Partying in Brighton was definitely a highlight! After the show, we all just went out, and it was genuinely uplifting, carefree and had the right level of trashy fun to be down by the sea – quite literally opposite the pier at the club – enjoying music and a little drink. Dragpunk embodies this all year round, and what better way to celebrate than with their very own show ‘Drag Me to Hell.’ The show which has a stellar lineup and with Lilith hosting, this is bound to be a night not to forget. The best time to get spooky and in touch with your inner evil. It’s the most wonderful time of the year……for drag queens and fans alike.
