MISS JASON aka Jason Frederick Sutton Jason Frederick Sutton (27 February 1968 – 22 April 2024) Known under his stage name as Miss Jason, he was an English actor, comedian, drag artist, pantomime dame, and a community and philanthropic activist. Born 27 February 1968, Jason Sutton began performing in drag at The Old Vic in Portsmouth in the 1990s. His drag persona was inspired by gay cabaret comedian and singer Phil Starr. Starr bestowed the stage name "Miss Jason" on Sutton. Drag artist Stephen Richards, who performs under the name Lola Lasagne , told BBC Radio Sussex that, personality wise, "Miss Jason" was very much like Sutton himself. Sutton often performed at the Two Brewers pub in London, but was a resident of the village of Rottingdean near the city of Brighton. He was a long-time performer in the Sunday cabaret at the bar at the Legends Hotel. He was named the best local entertainer in Brighton in 2016. As Miss Jason, Sutton appeared on several television programmes, including the comedy game show Blankety Blank, the reality cooking game show Come Dine With Me, the antiquing game show Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is, and Weakest Link. Sutton was a noted pantomime dame, performing for charity each Christmas. His performances included pantomime at Portsmouth (2016), Bromley (2017), High Wycombe (2018), Richmond (2019), Barnstaple (2021), Stafford (2022), and Brighton (2023)

Life's a Drag. UK Drag Queens of the past. From Lily Savage and Regina Fong to Adrella and Zsarday Life's a Drag, UK Drag Queens A brief history of U K drag The transcension of drag queens in the UK from the past to the present reflects a significant evolution in cultural acceptance, artistic expression, and media representation. **Historical Context:** In the past, drag in the UK was often associated with traditional theatrical performances, such as pantomimes, where men would dress as women for comedic effect. The visibility of drag was limited, and it primarily existed in niche venues or within the LGBTQ+ community. **1980s to 1990s:** The rise of the LGBTQ+ rights movement brought more visibility to drag culture. Performers like Lily Savage gained mainstream recognition, and drag began to be seen as a legitimate art form rather than just a comedic gimmick. Clubs and bars started to embrace drag shows, and events like Pride celebrations included drag performances. **2000s:** The advent of reality television, particularly with shows like "RuPaul's Drag Race," popularised drag culture globally. UK performers, such as Bianca Del Rio and later UK queens like The Vivienne and Baga Chipz, gained fame, further bridging the gap between underground drag and mainstream entertainment. **Present Day:** Today, drag queens in the UK are celebrated figures in popular culture, with many achieving celebrity status. The art form has diversified, encompassing various styles and performances, from comedy to high fashion. Drag is also increasingly recognised for its role in activism, addressing issues like gender identity, sexuality, and social justice. Overall, the transcension of drag queens in the UK showcases a journey from marginalization to mainstream acceptance, highlighting the vibrant, transformative nature of drag as both an art form and a means of self-expression. Lily Savage aka Paul O'Grady Paul James O'Grady (14 June 1955 – 28 March 2023) Paul was an English comedian, broadcaster, drag queen , actor, and writer. He achieved notability in the London gay scene during the 1980s with his drag persona Lily Savage, through which he gained wider popularity in the 1990s. Lily Savage was the stage persona of British entertainer Paul O'Grady. A beloved drag queen and comedian, Lily gained fame for her outspoken personality, sharp wit, and trademark Scouse accent. Her career spanned decades, taking her from underground gay clubs in London to prime-time television. O'Grady subsequently dropped the character and in the 2000s became the presenter of various television and radio shows, including The Paul O'Grady Show and For the love of dogs . Regina Fong aka Reg Bundy Her Imperial Highness, The Grand Duchess Regina Fong Last of the Romanovs Her Imperial Highness was born to the Russian Imperial Family of St Petersburg in 1905, but was almost immediately hidden away on the orders of the Czar due to her startling mane of flame red hair. During the storming of the Winter Palace in the uprising of 1917, she escaped due to the quick thinking of her nanny, who flung her, clutching three Faberge Eggs, from a third floor window. With great presence of mind and an ability to survive everything the world threw at her, she commandeered a Troika, and after a long and perilous journey, ended up in the Forbidden City in China. She began teaching flower arranging to the Dowager Empress, who so taken with her skills, refused to allow her to leave. In order to secure her escape from the enclosed city, she married a Chinese courtier called Wing Wang Fong. With her newly found freedom she moved to the stunning gothic mansion 'Fong Towers' in the Royal County of Berkshire, Great Briton, under the patronage of her imperial cousins, The Windsor' Rumours and urban myths followed Her Imperial Highness through out her life, some say she called herself 'Reginald' and impersonated a man from 1967 onwards in order to become a well respected dancer, appearing in the films "Oh What a Lovely War" and "Slipper and the Rose". She appeared in "The Rolf Harris Show", as well as numerous performances in London West End and the Royal Court. Not to mention Panto and Rep around the country. She hosted "Club X" on channel 4, and completed another motion picture entitled "AKA". There are stories also about an infamous and hugely popular all girl troupe called The Disapointer Sisters, one of whom had a startling mane of flame red hair! Many people also swear that for a six-month period there appeared in various "bars" and seedy venues a mysterious man in black leather with an enormous black mascara coated moustache who after his fourth "pint" would regale fellow patrons of life in The Winter Palace! None of these "stories" were ever confirmed (nor denied) by Her Imperial Highness, but we do know that in 1985 she filled in for one week for a dear friend and hosted a show at The Black Cap. One week turned into over 17 years, and so the legend of Her Imperial Highness, Grand Duchess Regina Fong was born. She passed away peacefully on 15 April 2003. R.I.P Regina the Grand Duchess Dockyard Dorris aka Colin Devereaux Colin Devereaux was a performer best known for his popular drag persona, Dockyard Doris. Performing in Islington was in his blood, as he was a direct descendent of Marie Lloyd, a very popular music hall singer in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He studied at the Italia Conti Stage School as a teenager. The character of Dockyard Doris was a music-hall inspired pantomime dame known for her outrageous sense of humour. Doris was incredibly popular all over London in the 1980s and 1990s, and appeared often in pantomimes and shows all over the city. She was also well known for her impression of the Queen Mother, which she performed at Central Station during the Queen Mother’s birthday celebration in 2000. In the Islington’s P r i d e Archive at the Islington Local History Centre, is correspondence from the Queen Mother, politely declining an invitation to visit Central Station during her birthday celebration. Devereaux was known as a fairly quiet person off-stage, but his loud and fun on-stage personality made him incredibly popular and he had a wildly successful 30 year career with appearances on TV shows and in movies along with his regular cabaret and stage performances. Devereaux passed away aged 50 after a long battle with cancer. Danny La Rue Danny La Rue OBE (Daniel Patrick Carroll, 26 July 1927 – 31 May 2009) Danny was an entertainer best known for on-stage theatrical productions, television shows and films where he customarily performed in drag. Adrella aka Peter Searle/Peter Steadman Peter Searle, professionally known as Peter Steadman, who as ‘Adrella’ was a huge star of the cabaret circuit from the mid-70s and directly inspired many of those who are part of the current drag revival, died at the age of 56 after many years of illness. Adrella worked both solo and with partners such as Lily Savage, David Dale, Ebbonknee and Ruby Venezuela. An old-school drag act, who mostly mimed to show tunes, he was best known for his Liza Minnelli routine. He was also a Eurovision fanatic and even juror for the UK’s judging panel in 2008. For a while, during the darkest days of the AIDS crisis, he was one of the most adored performers on the gay scene and did so much charity work that in 1987 he was given an award by the Terrence Higgins Trust. Tragically his ill-health resulted in an early retirement and less recognition than he deserved. He made a comeback, delighting new audiences with his almost undiminihed star quality. The son of a policeman, Searle claimed that he was raised in a police station in the middle of Hyde Park and that he was still living there in 1975, when he entered a talent competition at the Black Cap. He popped briefly into the West End in 1982, when he appeared in La Vie en Rose at the La Vie, formerly the Windmill Theatre. But he will be remembered by most as one of the great gay scene acts, especially for his work at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern. There are many recordings, notably of Adrella’s Nativity at Christmas, 1987, a show that drove the crowd wild. He also made numerous TV appearances on game shows, including Treasure Hunt, Talkabout, the Weakest Link and 15 to 1. Adrella’s last big success was ‘Camp Camp’, which he produced at Butlin’s, Skegness, in 1991. A follow-up was abandoned. Searle later wrote, “The second one collapsed after Butlin’s withdrew, due to negative press affecting their bookings [reports linked the event to the AIDS scare], and in-fighting between the two companies who produced the first event.” Adrella continued to host the RVT’s Sports Days. But subsequently Peter’s health deteriorated.

The ‘And I am Telling You’ number, which was known as the ‘fur coat’ routine was iconic at the time.” – Sandra Zsarday was a black trans performer in the circuit in the 80s and 90s in London, who sadly is no longer with us. She was legendary throughout the London and UK scene for her performance in the Regina Fong show signing 'and I'm telling you'. When she took to the stage in her fabulous Leopard skin coat and white pearls around her neck, she commanded everyones eyes. With her shaking hands she would pull her coat off and throw it at the audience, then the pearls would be ripped off and where they would go is anyones guess. Despite a career that included modelling for Alexander McQueen and Vivienne westwood, she lived a precarious life that tragically ended on her 40th birthday weekend in 2009. Zsarday’s coat was donated to the Museum of Transology by her friend Mzz Kimberley 5 Drag Divas and a Duo 5 Drag Divas and a Duo was originally sold to support SUSSEX BEACON in 1998.
