David Hoyle is a performance artist, avant-garde cabaret artist, singer, actor, comedian and film director. Performing as The Divine David, an "anti-drag queen" who combined "lacerating social commentary" with "breathtaking instances of self-recrimination and even self-harm”, he appeared on the BBC's Comedy Nation (1998) and produced two shows for Channel 4, The Divine David Presents (1998) and then The Divine David Heals (2000).

In this episode of Living Legends, David and Alfie talk about David’s extraordinary career. They go back to the very beginning of David’s drag journey, pay tribute to his manager at British Home Stores, and talk about the importance of nurturing new drag talent. Dave and Alfie discuss spirituality, London drag in the ’80s and the crippling curse of heteronormativity.
