Bonnie Ann Clyde for RuPaul's Drag Race UK S7 / BBC
Age: 30
Hometown: Dublin
Introduce yourself!
“Hi, my name is Bonnie Ann Clyde, I am 30 years old, from Dublin. You could say I’m Ireland’s finest export.”
How long have you been doing drag?
“You could say that I’ve been around the block a few times, but I prefer to say that I’m an international queen! Bonnie Ann Clyde was created in Dublin, the mid 2010s when drag was starting to get popular again. I performed in Dublin for six years, then I did a Summer in San Francisco, and after that I moved to Gran Canaria, where I performed for two and a half years. For the past year I’ve been settled in Manchester, and that’s where I was when I got the Drag Race call!”
What is a Bonnie Ann Clyde show like?
“At a Bonnie Ann Clyde show you get the full package! We might have a little comedy, a spoken word lip-sync number before we move onto something fierce and dance-y in a body suit, and then we’ll do a ballad, and mostly you will be enamoured by my presence and my glamorousness!”
Why do you deserve to win the crown?
(Impersonating iconic X Factor contestant Holly Jervis) “This is my moment. I’ve worked for years doing jobs I didn’t want to do and I’ve worked so hard. I deserve this crown, I deserve that sceptre, I deserve that £25k, and you know what? I’m going to get it because I’m fabulous, I’m fantastic, I’m Bonnie Ann Clyde and I’m going to win!”
RuPaul’s Drag Race UK returns next month on BBC Three and iPlayer.
