UNHhhh ep 10: "Drag Show Etiquette" with Trixie Mattel & Katya Zamolodchikova

Hi, I'm that texting-and-driving PSA that still keeps you up at night, Trixie Mattel, and I'm the 10 to 15 pounds of weight you've gained over the holidays, Kashia, and this is the

show

where we talk about whatever we want because it's our

show

, not theirs, no one has attended or been to more

drag

shows than us, oh yeah, I mean listen, I look 26, I'm 50 and I've been working in

drag

for 30 years and we are going to teach you how to do it. being the right drag queen in the show and being the right audience member because it takes two to tango, but it takes three to have a good time before this TV fame that we currently enjoy before we were legends in the stars and you know, she had that show where were they now where were they then yeah that's this one I was a super driver like Gia Gunn is now imagine her flipping your ponytail and saying come on in we have five stars and wouldn't that be so fun?

Don't go anywhere, you know, stay still, but those 10 to 15 minutes are worth it. She would have friends who would like to carry grass and move around in the stationary car. You know, we just did it, we just gave it a post. show career a career of nothing the next time I was at a drag show this girl was singing a song and she leaned against the wall all sexy and she had her wig on but magically held on with pins and the wall had like a nail There was something that It was sticking out of him, so she hit the wall and she slid down and when she slid when she hit the floor, she was bald and her wig was hanging all right, that was a missed opportunity because that's a big reveal that could have been a wig reveals the beauty of drag comes in mistakes and humiliation everything goes to the stage hello, I am a human error without label in the drag show I love women and bachelor parties and their energy that they bring to the drag show but it can come out too bad people are people you heard it here people are people when we perform now it's about us but for our singles it's about them that's fine or dancing well we're there to be gawked at instead of being propped up which is really different from what we do now, this is not a freak show and none of us now tell me what are the most humiliating moments you've experienced at a drag show, oh this video is basically viral, go look.

In that, it's me in San Francisco eating totally, totally, totally and those stages are multi-level, very similar to my talent, so I went for a walk and took a safe step and it was a total fall, my whole body, Ches, she lost the war with gravity. So seriously, I got the video and posted it myself, there they go again here, making the joke. Guys, to show it to someone recently. I made a joke about her unscathed list and she came out and said: I guess this shows what kind of girl you are if you need to make a career out of making fun of other people, you know, girl, we all have to make fun of each other, yeah, Well, also, I don't think Violet talks like that, although you have to be the first one to own it because otherwise people will go home and see this totally disgusting drag queen, it was embarrassing, yeah, I mean, technically I'm a body queen, but I also do a lot of comedy, so I think you know that's where we come from.

From the point of view, it's a nuisance there's more there's more like there's more wiggle room in terms of downplaying something that goes wrong, whereas Violet, if her wig fell off, would probably just stop being in drag. I mean, she's right, I mean, if she didn't do it. Closing now should leave it, you know? Or if the corset ate too many Chicken McNuggets one day and that course is just people realizing without the corset, she's just huge, fat, she rolls around, she'll give birth like a yoga ball, what have you done? At a drag show you're not proud, oh God, how much time do we have from top to bottom, wigs, scarves have broken or fallen off, oh, so I was performing at a nightclub in Boston.

I finished my number and was just writhing on stage. I kicked my leg, my shoe went flying and the heel hit someone right in the eyeball. Luckily, it was your dad's girlfriend who was trying to locate your mom anyway and it's like you're not going to be my mom. I shouldn't have to do it. I call you mom, I mean, when we were together in high school, you're really cool, Iran, I couldn't, Iran, I apologize to Iran, that's all you can do if you don't have money and you do something wrong, you're just one now. I can throw money at people, shut up, oh yeah, oh, they hit you in the eye with a heel, yeah, here's $20.

They threw up on me, they didn't kick me or piss on me, they threw up on stage, they made me angry backstage , there was the bachelorette party outside urinating at the door. something like a batter and she, you know, wiggled and then peed on my feet, she was cool, that leads us to like her as an audience member, what would drag performers like you be like, how do you play your role? It's a mutual respect as an artist. in an audience that you know wants to sit at a drag show where people watch diligently, you know when you have that, you would pay the price of admission, you are there to work, you need to work, yes, in America you are expected to come with hungry you get a pitcher of at least beer or something and you would be a rowdy loud crowd because that will only make a drag queen better and you bring tips yeah yeah that $1 is no joke.

I'll never forget working a sold-out show for you. you know what they paid me on the show pay $26 $26 in Milwaukee I did a show for two years every Wednesday for free yeah that's how track performance starts but 40 bucks unpaid internships like oh I'm making money doing my art , you know what it feels like until you're in this, so bring money, so bring money and me and I bring energy, all the drag queens, there are different types of performers, you better at least clap, even if you you hate, alternatively, however these days there are so many drag performers out there.

It might be up to them if the audience had a really discouraging response that might point them in another direction toward their true passion, which is actually, you know what I mean, kind of putting them down, but in a way, yeah, if you're a fool. horse you need to be shot with silence with or with a deafening boom vegetables if you want to grow old eating a bad hamburger take away the rotten vegetables you come back you know I don't want this hamburger give me a plate of rotten tomatoes there is also backstage

etiquette

oh girl okay here it is The thing, here's the thing, this is very, very, very serious, you don't steal tips from other artists, can you imagine, no, no, no, if you do this, if you get caught red-handed stealing tips.

It will be prohibited and within a radius of about a hundred miles. I worked in a bar in Wisconsin. There was a girl who pretended to be drunk. She fainted and they have her on camera. When I entered and left the room, she sat down and collected money. I took out people's bags and went back to pretending to sleep, so I guess that's what thieves do now, because if a laying down drag queen passes out, you're like a drag queen, they're actually drunk, oh yeah, tests in the pudding, yes, I would. I'd rather have a coworker in my mouth and slap me while she calls my dad a racist and then steal $1 for my pilot tips.

What if your dad shits in your mouth and calls you careers? That's just Thursday night, brothers, friends, and don't forget. subscribe to Wow presents
