Tonight we watched Episode 2 of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK Season 8 here at Backstage Chester — and WHAT. AN. EPISODE. 👑💄🍸

Honestly… how bloody lovely is that?! 🥂

We absolutely adore supporting Tequila this season, and having her take a moment to send some love all the way to our little theatre bar in Chester made tonight feel extra special.
