WALKING UP THE CREAKY STAIRS into Brighton’s Revenge nightclub, my heart is racing. I interview people all the time, that’s my job, but for the first time I’m nervous. I’m about to meet Willam, the razor-tongued star of RuPaul’s Drag Race — and everyone I’ve told has warned me to take care!
In their dressing room, Willam and fellow Drag Race contestant Alyssa Edwards are getting ready for the show. It’s a Sunday night and the venue is crammed full. “I like the UK. Last time I was here I judged Porn Idol [at G-A-Y] and I got fucked by one of the contestants,” Willam grins.
