Danny La Rue

We also have our drag school, which is now on its fifth year, and various other kind of projects.

One of the big ones, my most exciting one for me this year is the Daniel LaRue project we're working on.

So we got funding through the Creative Communities Fund from City Council.

So we're doing a tile mosaic program.

So it's a 10-week program.

People learn how to make tile mosaics, with the end goal being we're hoping to have a permanent mural of Daniel LaRue in City Centre.

And explain to the people who Danny LaRue is very briefly.

So Danny LaRue was at one point one of the highest paid entertainers on BBC television and was a female impersonator or a drag artist.

Well, we lost Hot Wheels after a long, hard fight.

Lost Danny LA too.

Keep them with us and we carry their light.

Let's see what the rest of these dopes can do.

Um-

Danny La Rue, L- Lily Savage, in that a lot of them have moved into that world, and we see them on all the game shows and, you know.

Yeah.

Yeah, exactly.

It shouldn't matter if we pass.

Um, and people are kind of obsessed with us through things like Danny La Rue on the stage-

[laughs]

...

And for someone that doesn't wear glasses, you look like an absolute fucking egg.

Because Zuckerberg come out with what can only be described as fucking Danny LaRue on crack.

These first glasses he come out with, thinking he looked the bollocks.

I'm looking at him like that.

You know, and then, you know, growing up, you had, like, a hairspray, and...

Of course, we have to mention the one and only Daniel LaRue.

Yeah, Daniel LaRue, Lily Savage, Dame Edna.

That's what I grew up on, on that British TV where that blankety blank.

Yeah, that's how I kind of got introduced as a child to drag.
