Season 3, episode 9: Drag superstars Art Simone & Etcetera Etcetera

The Sentinel Speakeasy

The Sydney Sentinel's Travis de Jonk explores the week's top stories on sydneysentinel.com.au.

OUR SPECIAL GUESTS ON THE SHOW THIS WEEK are two of the most famous drag talents in Australia - Art Simone and Etcetera Etcetera - and following their participation in hit reality TV show RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under, their names are now known globally.

The dynamic duo have teamed up for their own show - As Seen On TV . But that’s not all - they're doing the show in tandem with their own ‘one of a kind’ make-up workshops called Backstage Beauty. It’s an epic 19 date national Australian tour - not only of our major cities but regional centres too.

Art Simone and Etcetera Etcetera joined me in the studio to talk about how they got their start in drag, what it was like being on RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under, how they deal with their newfound international fame, and why they're so passionate about taking their shows and workshops to regional Australia.
