What were you doing before you discovered your waack dance?
I was an underground parking lot hip-hop dancer. I learned waacking from Princess Lockeroo on So You Think You Can Dance? I fell in love with it because there’s no restraint or construct. You’re never “too gay,” “too feminine” or too anything.
What would a typical night out with you involve?
Shots, conversations, ass grabbing, more shots, dancing on the verge of dehydration and waking up to the thought, “who the hell are you?”
What’s your favorite club in town?
Maggie Choo’s. The cocktails are amazing, the music is pure 70s’ disco and the boys are yummy-licious. Which means even more fun after I get out of drag!
What bugs you most about Bangkok nightlife?
The Top 40 f***ing music. No More. Club-goers need more soul and depth to their nightlife experience. Bangkok clubs should stop treating us like we are stupid music listeners. No more Pitbull, Maroon 5 and David Guetta every night.
What has been your worst experience as a performer?
When I accidentally swallowed a 10 baht coin onstage, a few weeks ago during a lip-synching performance. Don’t ask me how, but I went to the E.R., and it was gone! Lesson learned: never put things in your mouth that you cannot swallow.
What’s the wildest place in Bangkok?
Lumphini Park. There are Godzilla babies roaming the place while you row your boat with a date around the beautiful pond. Then night time comes, and it’s the place men pick up “working women” by the trees outside. I love this beautiful contrast.
How was the experience of being on T Battle and what are your plans now?
We lip-synched, danced and sang for our lives, similar to RuPaul’s Drag Race. And now the possibilities are endless! I’m enjoying my life as a drag MC entertainer and traveling the world; teaching dance and judging competitions as a waacking drag queen.
Where can people catch your shows?
You can catch me at Tuesdays’ Theatre of Oddities night and Sunday gay nights [The Importance of Being Earnest], both at Maggie Choo’s. I’m also involved with G-Spot entertainment— we throw the most fabulous gay parties twice every month: TGIF every last Friday of the month [Apr 24, themed “Nudity”] at Hilton Sukhumvit, and Splash Out Pool Party every first Saturday of the month [May 2] at DoubleTree by Hilton Sukhumvit.
What makes a good drag MC?
I’m very blessed to be a gay man as it makes me understand what gay men want in a party. So I try to deliver that cherry on top of their sundaes whenever I’m hired. I am crazy, loud, and I love making fun of people. But at the end of the day, it’s all out of love and a celebration of life.
