Kitty Scott-Claus @KittyScottClaus will star in Tuckshop’s 2025 West End panto, Snow White, from 15 December 2025 – 4 January 2026 at The Emerald Theatre, 8 Victoria Embankment, London WC2R 2AB, United Kingdom.
QX popped in for a chat with Kitty just as she was starting rehearsals.
Who is Kitty Scott-Claus?
Kitty Scott-Claus is the blonde, bubbly bombshell from Birmingham. A serial reality show loser, always the bridesmaid but never the bride – a marathon runner, lingerie model, TV cook, West End Star yet humble (and very beautiful).
How did you get into drag performance?
I like attention, next question (ha, I joke).
Having began performing at a young, young age, I grew up watching Pantomime Dames. I was working as a musical theatre actor, and my best mate was a drag queen, and they were putting on a Girls Aloud tribute night at this bar in Camden (RIP Her Upstairs), and needed a Kimberley Walsh; they asked me if I would do it, and the rest is history.
Describe your style in three words.
Pink, Camp, Hun.
Who’s your drag crush?
Sister dick will make you sick! Also, knowing what goes into drag and how crazy it is doesn’t exactly tickle my pickle, ya know.
Who are your fave new drag artists right now?
I’m still waiting for my sisters to be on Drag Race—Herr the Queen, Samantha Stone, Yshee Black, Tiana Biscuit, the list goes on! I love Duniya Dhoom- I will never stop thinking about her Britney medley!
If you had to say which was your fave London LGBTIQ+ venue, which would it be and why?
Heaven! It’s iconic, and playing there is always a pinch-me moment! We’re losing so many queer spaces at the moment, we need to show our support- especially after losing sister venue G-A-Y so recently!
Top UK LGBTIQ+ venue?
Heaven! There really is nowhere like it! I also love Via in Manchester!
What makes you happy?
Running! I started running when I was on my weight-loss journey and ran the marathon this year—I know it sounds so obvious, but taking an hour or two by yourself to just go and run, disconnect from the world, and allow yourself time with your thoughts. It’s so good physically but also mentally!
Tell us something about yourself that not many know.
Diet Coke is life.
What are you working on at the moment?
I’m about to start rehearsals for Snow White —this year’s Tuckshop Panto, playing at The Emerald from 15 December till 4 January 2025—get your tickets now at www.tuckshopuk.com.
