🎙️ What’s This Episode About?

Violet Pain is a staple drag queen in Liverpool, and a seasoned performer with a quick wit, sharp mug, and a deep love for the stage; whether that’s at Superstar Boudoir, Masquerade, Sparkles in Gran Canaria, or anywhere a mic and a moment are available.

Violet joins John to talk about the journey behind the glamour: from early days navigating queer spaces to becoming a familiar face (and voice) across Liverpool’s drag scene. They chat about what it means to build a drag persona, the wider drag community, and how Violet uses drag to hold space for joy, silliness and honesty.

There’s also talk of friendship, community, and why sometimes the most profound thing you can do… is make someone laugh.

It’s smart, sassy, and full of heart - just like Violet.
