BBH Presents: Black Sheep

19. Vinegar Strokes: "There's more to drag than a man in a wig"

Listen on

Episode notes

Drag performer Vinegar Strokes describes herself as a "proper London lady". She's also a RuPaul’s Drag Race UK contestant, starred in "Everyone’s Talking About Jamie", and launched the Black LGBTQ+ campaign #ItCouldBe.


Hear her talk to our host, Daniella Isaacs, about the politics of drag, where she finds her inspiration, and why she'd never call doing drag an "act".


Some notes for this episode:


  • Daniella and Vinegar talk about the Boulet Brothers Show but couldn't remember what it was called. It is, of course, "Dragula".
  • There was also some confusion over how many states are part of the USA – and we can confirm that the number is, in fact, 50.


Black Sheep is produced by Black Sheep Studios with Daniella Isaacs for BBH. It’s recorded, mixed and mastered by our friends at Soho Radio, and the music is by Daniel Lovegrove.
