Lady Bunny: “Well, it’s funny because Stonewall is historic, and Stonewall is beloved, and Stonewall was the birthplace of gay rights, but honey it hasn’t been open for a while and it’s a dump! When I heard that they didn’t have any Christmas decorations up I thought, well, I’m not going to have time to shoot this in a couple hours and decorate the stage too. It made me miss being in a bar, but watching this is the next best thing right now isn’t it?! James Kleinmann, The Queer Review: Congratulations on What Child is This? It’s really fun and I liked that it was filmed on stage at the Stonewall Inn. With What Child is This? now streaming on Voss Events, The Queer Review’s editor James Kleinmann had an exclusive conversation with Lady Bunny about recording the holiday show, creating her parody of Cardi B’s WAP with Flotilla DeBarge, being inspired by Bianca Del Rio, her frustration with clickbait articles in LGBTQ media, pushing back against those who call RuPaul transphobic, and what she admires about the late activist and writer Larry Kramer.

Along with co-writer Beryl Mendelbaum, the drag diva’s depraved reworkings of holiday classics also include Rudolpho The Uncut Reindeer and there’s topical version of ’Twas The Night Before Christmas which envisions Santa in the White House as its current occupants prepare for the arrival of the Biden administration. With every expense spared on decorations, the focus is on her trademark smart, irreverent, deliciously filthy and unfiltered humour.

Certified drag legend, Wigstock creator and emcee, DJ, actress, singer-songwriter, and RuPaul’s oldest friend, Lady Bunny, helps us to celebrate this socially distant holiday season with such aptly festive numbers as Santa’s Spreadin’ Covid Around, All I Want for Christmas (Is a Vaccine), and It’s Beginning to Look Apocalyptic in her new comedy show What Child is This? filmed audience-free, live on stage at New York City’s historic Stonewall Inn, which Bunny loving refers to “a dump”.
