Drag Race UK icon Michael Marouli proves why she’s the ultimate drag queen with her Christmas Roast Tour – review
With an ahh-hah and an erghh-hergh on the fifth season of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, Michael Marouli showcased why she’s one of the most revered drag performers in Britain.
Across ten episodes, the Geordie icon conquered three maxi-challenges including the staple makeover – in which she transformed Switchboard volunteer Peter into a member of the Marouli dynasty – and the roast – where she memorably tossed her cards and ‘torched’ Tomara Thomas, Ginger Johnson, DeDeLicious and the judging panel.
So – praise the lord – Michael has taken her latter talents on the road for her Christmas Roast Tour, which promises “unfiltered, jaw-dropping comedy—guaranteed to have you belly laughing and unleashing your inner Ho Ho Hoe.” After attending her London show we can confirm that it was brimming with filth and Christmas queer.
Besides ripping into this writer for being a – OneMikeDoubleTheT reference incoming – “sissy fa**ot femme bottom,” Michael didn’t hold back as she continuously read innocent members of the audience (I hope Lorraine is okay), as well as Tomara’s invisible teeth and Alexis Saint Pete’s first-out status.
