Hello!
How are you?
I'm alright.
He's still bonkers.
What?
She's like a boxer.
I've only had one shoulder, water and legs so I'm alright.
I've just climbed on there.
It's the right changing rooms at Primo back there.
Do you know what I mean?
Oh!
I don't care.
I don't care.
I don't care.
I don't care.
I don't care.
I don't care.
I don't care.
I don't care.
That's not what it means to go on.
Yes, precisely.
I was on the fourth zeppels.
Two days I was there.
Two days!
Drag is a drama. Drag is whatever you want it to be.
My name is Ashleigh and I'm a drag artist.
For me it's something to complete my life.
It's challenges. It's not just putting a dress on.
It's creating something that people will invest in.
People love me. People hate me. People have no idea where I am.
The first time I did drag was on a cruise in a Caribbean with like 40 RuPaul drag queens.
It was like a special holiday that you could book.
You spend a week hanging out with RuPaul drag queens and seeing their shows in the evening.
That was the first time I thought I'm going to drag up.
I grew up in Anansley which is just outside Nottingham.
When I was a teenager it was the early 80s and you got people like Boy George in the charts
and David Bowie and people like that.
The internet was very new still. It was quite fresh.
You couldn't google who David Bowie was. It was like finding your heritage as it were
or the history of club drag. It was very difficult.
My act. It's a classic cabaret.
I don't tell jokes but I'm a funny drag queen. I'm an observation drag queen.
I'm like a poor version of Bianca Del Rio.
I want as many people to know Kitty is.
Kitty is a media hall. She's been on loads of TV programmes and we'll carry on doing that.
But this year has slightly held back on the TV side of things.
When I first started doing drags about three years ago I didn't know what was about it.
I think an actual reaction. I went to other cities that I had seen.
Glasgow, Birmingham, Manchester.
But now, three years on, I think there's a lot more activity in Nottingham.
She wants to concentrate on the community, Nottingham.
Drag means to me life.
Nottingham.
Nottingham.
