There is nothing inappropriate about drag queens performing for children
get into drag to entertain children. A lot of MY performances are lewd, suggestive or downright filthy. I love performing for adults, particularly queer adults, because it feels like we’re speaking the same language and have the same references.
I love coming up with ways to startle or surprise that audience or to make them laugh. That said, I am perfectly capable of toning down my performances to suit all ages audiences – I’ve done it before and will again.
Fundamentally, when I perform for children, there is no real difference to taking a kid to a musical – big costumes, fun music and lots of playful self expression.
Performing for children has its own magic, and it is very heartwarming that a generation of kids will grow up having been exposed to different identities and lifestyles.
