Actor Simon Gregson was among the celebs who dragged up for this joyful celebration of queer culture
makeover challenge, but any concerns that this would all be reduced to gags about blokes in dresses were soon dismissed. Despite the inevitable footage of the celebrities wobbling around in heels,was keen to emphasise that drag is about a lot more than a pair of tights and a bit of lippy.
While Adam Woodyatt as Madame Mimi d’YooYoo may have ended the art of celebrity impersonation for good, it certainly wasn’t for lack of trying. More than reminiscent ofearlier this year, everyone involved was absolutely invested in doing a good job and making their mentors proud. Given that drag – despite its long history in mainstream entertainment – has recently been subject to some particularly unsavoury criticism over whether it is “family-friendly”, it felt important to see this show in a prime-time Saturday night slot and for drag to be treated with such warmth and respect.
