With 16 contestants this season, the elimination-style show features locals displaying an array of talents. In short, sure — there’s drag here.
But this ain’t no Drag Race. “Sure, there are Drag Race-style challenges, but this is like no other show ever,” Fatale (nee Timothy Sherwood) said by phone before the season premiere. “The key word here is ‘queer,’ and we feature the best up-and-coming talent of queer artists.” The show continues at Sue Ellen’s for a total of 12 weeks from last Wednesday.
The contest has featured drag kings and queens, dancers, singers and more of all genders and orientations practicing queer arts, as Fatale describes it.
