The stars of RuPaul's Drag Race are heading to Swansea for one night only, it has been announced.
Four of the show's most popular stars are heading out on the road in September and October, bringing outrageous humour live to LGBT+ venues across the country as part of a Netflix tour of its hugely popular video series 'I Like to Watch'.
Travelling between cities in a flamboyant kitsch motorhome, the venues they perform at will be given an living room-style makeover, immersing attendees and bringing them closer to the action than ever before.
The tour will be stopping off at Swansea's Dorothy's Showbar on Thursday, October 14 . 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 .
They will be partnered with up-and-coming queens, local to each of the venues. Fans will get up close and personal with them, 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.
Aside from Swansea, the tour will visit London, Margate, Bournemouth, Nottingham, Glasgow and Hull.
After a year in which venues and drag artists saw their industry struggle tremendously with work disappearing overnight due to the coronavirus pandemic, the I Like To Watch tour is being hailed as an opportunity to celebrate and support LGBT+ performers and the venues.
The Vivienne said: “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."
