For Luis Rowley, OCD and depression are something he needs to deal with daily.
But for Luey Lu, Luis’ drag persona, they are problems which seem a “million miles away”. The 22-year-old, who lives in Everton, is a hotel receptionist by day, but by night, is a self-proclaimed “over-excitable gremlin” who entertains audiences across the city.
