Drag Race UK stars The Vivienne and Tia Kofi to hit Nottingham this week

Ru Paul's The Drag Race UK stars The Vivienne and University of Nottingham graduate Tia Kofi will be arriving in the city this week.

Netflix is taking its popular video series I Like to Watch on tour for September and October, with Nottingham being a hotly anticipated stop at the New Foresters in St Ann's.

The tour is travelling to various LGBT+ venues and organisers say that after a year in which venues and drag artists saw their industry struggle, this is an opportunity to celebrate and support LGBT+ performers and the venues, which act as a vital resource for the community.

Each night of the tour will be hosted by a rotating cast of fan favourites, including RuPaul’s Drag Race UK winner The Vivienne, Tia Kofi, Cheryl Hole and Tayce, who will be partnered with up-and-coming Queens, local to each of the venues.

Fans will get up close and personal, watching and critiquing films including Pitch Perfect, Netflix’s Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga and He’s All That, in their own unique style.

The Vivienne says: “I'm so excited to be taking I Like To Watch on the road.

"We've all had a shocker over the last year or so, and queens and LGBT+ venues have really struggled.

"I've made a career working in bars all over the UK, so I know how vital they are to our community. We want to give everybody a camp time, but fingers crossed our tour can help local scenes as they start to find their feet again."
