Ru Paul's Drag Race UK winner The Vivienne to perform in South Shields

She saw off all competition to become the first ever winner of Ru Paul's Drag Race UK and it has been announced that The Vivienne will perform in South Shields next year.

The Liverpool-based drag queen beat Divina de Campo and Baga Chipz in the final of the much-buzzed-about BBC show, after impressing over the weeks with a series of eye-catching looks, some witty asides and of course THAT Donald Trump impression for Snatch Game.

And on Sunday, February 16, Viv has a date with recently re-opened South Shields bar Can Can as she brings the HERSTORY party to the Ocean Road.

Revealing all on Facebook on Monday evening, Can Can teased that another Drag Race favourite will also be there, with news of their identity set to be confirmed in the next few days.

The night, held in association with Inside Promotions, will also feature a host of performances from North East-based drag queens as well. Tickets are on sale now online from the Inside Promotions website , priced £18.

Can Can also have limited VIP booths available to book for the event, contact Can Can’s Facebook page to inquire about getting on.

The Vivienne's appearance in South Shields will follow her first North East performance since her win, when the official Drag Race UK tour kicks off its nationwide run at Newcastle's Tyne Theatre on Thursday, November 28.
