RuPaul’s Drag Race’s The Vivienne brings 'live and uncensored' show to Liverpool

The first-ever winner of RuPaul's Drag Race UK is bringing a "live and uncensored" show to Liverpool.

Former Pride Quarter DJ The Vivienne will be returning to the city where she made a name for herself as a drag queen. However, this time she will be entertaining a crowd full of fans at The Bentley in Liverpool.

The 31-year-old Dancing On Ice finalist is taking the main stage at the Brunswick Street venue on Friday, May 19 to show off her "star quality" and deliver her "world famous" impersonations of singer Cher and TV personality Kim Woodburn. The show is said to be complete with "incredible live vocals" and "hilarious comedy".

Ryan Dillon, general manager of the Bentley, told the ECHO: "I have followed the rise of The Vivienne from the days performing in the GBar and Superstar Boudoir in Liverpool to on TV on RuPaul’s Drag Race. All the team have wanted to book her for some time to perform in the Bentley and we cannot wait for the show.”

Liverpool’s The Vivienne found fame after appearing on the UK spin-off series of RuPaul's Drag Race. Since then she has gone on to add Celebrity Hunted, Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway, Celebrity Juice and The Weakest Link to her resume.

The drag queen, who kickstarted her career on Stanley Street, is now one of the biggest drag artists in the UK. Whilst the world recognises her as a drag superstar, day-one fans and Scousers may be more familiar with her as a "gay town" host and DJ.

Tickets to The Vivienne's standing and adult-only show can be bought online. The show starts at 7 pm and lasts until 1 am.
