This year San Francisco made history by appointing the city’s first drag laureate, D’Arcy Drollinger, who is not only a fierce drag queen but also a theatrical dynamo. D’Arcy has created, written and performed dozens of brilliant shows over the years, including the Lohan Project, Temple of Poon, a feature film Shit and Champagne and is co-starring in the Bay Areas’ long running holiday show The Golden Girls Live.

The first of its kind in the world, San Francisco’s drag laureate is not just a figurehead for the LGBTQ+ community, they are given resources to produce work that ensures that the legendary city continues to be a supportive place for queer art to grow and flourish.

Today D’Arcy Drollinger joins us to look at her incredible year so far as San Francisco’s first drag laureate, creating the Oasis, the city’s first drag owned and operated bar and venue and the shocking death of Heklina.

Plus- D’Arcy’s recipe for overcoming hate targeted to trans people and drag performers.
