Kitty Scott-Claus: My grief for The Vivi...

Graeme Smith
About this episode

Graeme Smith sits down with UK drag royalty Kitty Scott-Claus, who opens up like never before.


As a finalist on worldwide TV show - RuPaul’s Drag Race Global All Stars, Kitty is riding high — but the past year has brought huge personal change.


She speaks movingly about her friend and fellow queen The Vivienne, and the impact her tragic passing had on the drag community. Kitty reflects on Viv’s strength, visibility and vulnerability — and how her loss underscores just how much pressure drag performers are under right now, both on and off stage.


We also dive deep into Kitty’s remarkable transformation — losing over eight stone through swimming, running and cutting out booze — just before the world went wild for Ozempic. She’s honest about why she’s glad she did it the “old-school way,” and how she navigates the often shallow world of queer dating and body politics now that she looks, in her words, “more socially acceptable.”


Expect laughter, brutal honesty, and a little bit of glitter!

🎟️ Kitty Scott-Claus is a celebrated Drag Queen, TV personality and is set to star in the world premiere of The Diana Mixtape from 28th July at HERE at Outernet alongside an equally star-studded cast.
