08/04/15: Last week’s Drag Idol launch drew the biggest crowd in the competition’s history thus far, as well as the most applications they’ve ever received.
An amazing night kicked off with a series of powerhouse performances from past winners. The line-up included last year’s victor, drag king LoUis CYfer, batter dipped bird Baga Chipz, Tanya Hyde and the CK queens themselves, alongside this year’s ringleaders, La Voix and Titti La Camp!
Drag Idol has changed careers of winners and contestants alike, quite literally overnight and we’re certain we can look forward to more fantastic fresh talent flooding the already-thriving UK cabaret scene from this year’s crop of hopefuls.
There will be twists and turns galore in the year’s competition, which will be revealed over the coming weeks. La Voix and Titti have been keeping their lacquered lips tightly sealed about proceedings, so watch this space!
They did tease us with a promise of celebrity judges for the final panel though, apparently on a level never seen before!
Fingers crossed for Babs Windsor and Paul O’Grady. Applications are available from www.dragidoluk.com or there is an application form on the back of all the flyers found in participating venues, which applicants can hand in to the bar staff.
