Lady Bunny hits Canadian airwaves

New York drag queen dishes on RuPaul

The notorious Lady Bunny will hit Canadian airwaves in July on OUTtv, Canada’s gay and lesbian television channel. The American drag queen, who co-founded and hosted Wigstock, is returning to RuPaul’s Drag U.

In the below video Bunny talks about the show and discusses her history with RuPaul.

“What really unites us is our twisted sense of humour,” Bunny says. “Ru doesn’t let that show onstage because his stage persona is ‘Everybody say love.’ And I’m not saying Ru is not like that, because he is, but he appreciates the twisted freak I am.”

Drag U takes ordinary women and gives them drag makeovers. Lady Bunny has her own segment in the third season called Lady Lessons.
