New reality show ‘Drag Queens of London’ coming this spring
By Nick Levine
A new reality show called Drag Queens of London is coming this April.
The series, which consists of eight 60-minute episodes, has been commissioned by London Live, a new entertainment channel based in the capital that is set to launch on March 31.
Drag Queens of London will star well-known faces from the capital’s drag scene including Dusty O, Lady Lloyd (pictured right), Baga Chipz, Silver Summers, Vanity von Glow, Munroe Bergdorf, Meth, Rosie Beaver and Vicki Vivacious.
Dusty O said in a statement: “Drag doesn’t discriminate. Queens come in all shapes, sizes, hues and ages and are endowed with some extraordinary talents. It’s great to be part of a programme that celebrates and showcases the diversity and dynamism of London’s drag scene. It’s going to be an eye-opening and electrifying journey for viewers and drag queens alike”.
Series producer Becky Maynard added: “There’ll be plenty of the expected glitzy and glamorous performances but we’ll also learn more about the stories behind the performer as the war paint comes off.
“These courageous and colourful characters have a lot on their plate and we’ll see them triumph against the odds to forge careers, find love and make their lives as both drag queens and real men in the capital. We can’t wait to tell all the stories in Drag Queens of London this April”.
London Live launches on March 31 and will available on Freeview 8, YouView 8, Sky 117 and Virgin 159.
