A Liverpool student has said his drag persona and the venue he performs at allows him to feel “part of a family.”
Jake Jervo, otherwise known as Jackie Jervo, first started doing drag at the age of 18 when he first went to Stanley Street gay club, Superstar Boudiour. There, the John Moores University student said he felt like he was at “gay Disneyland” and after getting to know other performers, he questioned if they could, why couldn’t he?
However, it wasn’t until the 24-year-old began attending Sonic Yootha, a so-called 'queer disco' which caters for 'homos, heteros, drag shows and don’t knows’, Jake felt he could finally be himself, so much so, he explained it feels part of his DNA now.
