A Drag Legend’s Triumphant Return
This isn’t just another drag show , it’s a deeply personal journey through Velour’s extraordinary life. Born to academic parents in Berkeley, she’s transformed from a scholarly background into a global drag sensation, bringing her unique blend of intellect and fabulous performance art back to where it all began.
Beyond the Wig Reveals
Remember her legendary Whitney Houston lip-sync that broke the internet? Velour’s show promises even more magic, weaving together personal stories, electrifying performances, and a soundtrack that jumps from Stevie Wonder to Britney Spears. Pro tip: Pride Night on June 7 features local Berkeley drag performers that you absolutely cannot miss.
From Academia to Drag Royalty
Before becoming Brooklyn’s drag darling, Velour was living a life that sounds like an art film. She’s worked as a security guard at the Hermitage Museum, been a Fulbright Scholar in Moscow, and is an accomplished illustrator , proving that drag is an art form that transcends simple categorization.
