Vancouver’s Next Drag Superstar is back again this year, held at Shine Nightclub while Celebrities is under renovation. Last year’s winner Iona Whipp experienced a whirlwind trip to New York City where she spent the night with the RuPaul’s Drag Race girls at their finale party! The winner this year will be traveling to NYC to party the night away with the cast of season 5.
Check out my video interviewing some of last year’s competitors as well as Drag Race’s Shangela, who was one of the judges, to get an idea of what you can expect:
The best of Vancouver’s queens will be competing in the preliminary round tonight. Doors open at 9, and the show starts at 10, with all proceeds benefiting the Dogwood Monarchist Society. Don’t miss round two of the preliminaries on January 31, followed by the semi finals on February 7, and the finals on February 14 with judge Sharon Needles!
I’ll be judging the queens myself — check out Blitz & Shitz in the next issue of Xtra out January 30.
