FROM THE VAULT: Fenton Bailey chats Tammy Faye, Drag Con and how Drag Race Changed The World (and Cheryl) Forever!

FROM THE VAULT: Fenton Bailey chats Tammy Faye, Drag Con and how Drag Race Changed The World (and Cheryl) Forever!

Due to some dodgy internet issues in the north of England, we tried but failed to record this weeks episode of The Spooky Sleepover but instead, we have a gold nugget of a convo from the vault for you to discover (or rediscover).

This is our chat with the one and only Fenton Bailey - The Co-owner of production company World Of Wonder, the co-creator of RuPaul's Drag Race and incredible film director creating the eponymous movie Party Monster.

Cheryl and Nikki settle down to chat to Fenton about his documentary, The Eyes Of Tammy Faye, his world changing creation - RuPaul's Drag Race and how both their lives have been changed via his work - Cheryl with Drag Race but Nikki via something a little more left field in the form of The Adam and Joe Show (and Party Monster).

This conversation goes in all sorts of directions and we loved chatting to Fenton so it's worth another listen!

*The mention of drag con tickets is for an event in the past and any discount codes will not work for future events*

Enjoy and we'll see you back next week as normal!

Cheryl & Nikki
