One of the most overlooked artists from the first season of Drag Race UK (we said what we said), Scardey Kat, has a brand new YouTube show out. Think late-night 90’s tv crossed with a trip to Hamley’s after falling out of a club at 9am. QX’s Jason Reid found out more…
Hey Scardey! How’s life been treating you since Drag Race UK?
Well, to be honest, not well. Every time I lie now my nose grows longer and longer. So strange. I’m waiting for a fairy to turn me into a real drag queen. I’ve met loads of fairies at this point but clearly the right one still hasn’t arrived.
Who did you connect with most on the show?
Divina. I had no choice. She has a hypnotic way about her, like the snake from Jungle Book. She coils herself around you, stares deeply in your eyes and then that’s it. That’s how she makes friends. It’s weird, but if you give in it’s easier.
Would you do Drag Race again?
If, suddenly, I became psychotic and my emotions disappeared then, yes, I could do Drag Race again.
What’s been more arduous for you; lockdown life or Drag Race viewers inexplicably trying to get their head round bisexuality?
HA! Definitely people wrapping their minds around bisexuality. It’s a struggle for us all. Life can be so scary when you can’t label something easily. But I guess it gave people something to do, and Reddit isn’t going to write itself now, is it?
Tell us about the new YouTube show, and why we should watch it?
The new YouTube comedy series is called The Bare and Klare Show. It’s hosted by two mystical stoner bears and their enchanted friends who will teach you the ways of life through cartoon fun, magical mystery, and smut. Think naughty Elmo meets less-boring Blue Peter. Skits, animation, songs, comedy delights, and stupidity. We even have a set. Everyone should watch it because, let’s be honest, what else are you going to do. Don’t convince yourself you’ve got stuff going on.
What’s the first thing you’ll do when lockdown is fully lifted?
When lockdown is lifted, I plan to violently skip to Covent Garden, naked, screaming “down with the patriarchy, down with the patriarchy” until someone of authority stops me. At which point, I’ll throw a Tesco-sized bag of grains up into the air, causing pigeons from miles around to swoop down in a feathery flurry to create an avian shield of protection. I’ll then keep screaming until the grain runs out. No-one can stop me.
The next episode of The Bare and Klare Show drops this weekend, and then every fortnight. Watch here:
