BBC3’s hit show RuPaul’s Drag Race has quite the presence this Fringe, with not only season two winner Laurence Chaney making an appearance later in the run, but self-styled Material Girl, Baga Chipz, also delivering her first ever one-woman show. Is it coincidence or deliberate that their turns haven’t clashed? It could have been false eyelashes at dawn!
Arriving on the Gilded Balloon stage to the strains of, no lipsticks for guessing, Madonna’s Material Girl, we’re then treated/assaulted to a cocktail of classic cabaret staples: cover versions, costume changes, dance routines, and enough bawdy humour to power a thousand Carry On movies.
