‘Nothing can stop me’: Liverpool queens on the power of drag

Liverpool has a wide range of drag queen talent on offer.

Whether it be DJing, lip-synching, performing, comedy or looking glamorous, there is a queen out there in the city who has got it down to a tee. All this considered, it is hardly surprising that two out of the four winners of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK belong to Liverpool - The Vivienne and Danny Beard.

However, many of those who attend the Pride Quarter for a night out might not even recognise their favourite drag queens once they have wiped away the smokey eye and bold lip. Arguably this is because they are usually a few inches taller and their hair a completely different colour, but also because their alter-ego gives them a newfound confidence they don’t always have when out of drag.
