“British drag is slapdash and hodgepodge”

United Zingdom

Available for over a year

When RuPaul’s Drag Race launched in the UK last year Zing noticed lots of fans saying the show made them feel strangely patriotic. The contestants were bawdy, slapdash, raucous and not as earnest or polished as the queens of the original American series. This week Zing’s heading to Birmingham - home town of Drag Race star, Sum Ting Wong. They discuss what makes British drag unique, compare stories of coming out to their Asian parents, and take a tour of Sum’s Brum.
