Betwixt The Gossip Gays
•
RuPaul. Lily Savage. Bianca Del Rio. Dame Edna Everage. These iconic drag queens are household names, but have you ever heard about Princess Seraphina? Or William Dorsey Swann, aka 'The Queen'?
Today we're bringing you a very special mash-up episode for Comic Relief, all about the history of Drag Queens. Danny & Billy are joined by historian Kate Lister, host of Betwixt The Sheets: The History of Sex, Scandal & Society.
Where did the term Drag Queen come from? What is a Molly House? And why could you expect to be served a stewed prune there? It wasn't to aid digestive health that's for sure...
