RuPaul's Drag Race UK has took the country, and the world, by storm. With the first season aired in late 2019, the show showcased the humour and uniqueness of UK drag across the board, with Wales-born The Vivienne taking home the crown. Season two was a bit of a stir, with the show being aired at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. Giving way to global superstars such as Newport's Tayce and Bimini, it seemingly overtook the US version in popularity showcasing the immense drag talent here on our shores.
As season three came around, Victoria Scone made two incredible firsts: representing Cardiff and being the first cisgender female to appear on the entire franchise. Although she didn't go all that far in the competition, Victoria's time on the show has made ripples all over the world and she is often still in Cardiff entertaining eager crowds.
But as season four has just been announced, it's hard to feel the Welsh spirit without any Welsh queens actually being on the franchise this year. While we would welcome someone born elsewhere and starting drag in Wales, there are none to choose from. So, in light of the lack of Welsh drag appearing on the show this year, we decided to compile a list of some of Wales' most exciting drag stars that we think deserve to have a chance on the TV programme in future series. We'll be including drag kings too, hoping the show will branch out in the future to accommodate them. In no particular order, here are some of Wales' most exciting drag acts.
