Felixstowe performer ‘electrifying’ the local drag scene

“I trained in musical theatre at Stella Mann College and I am a singer, dancer and actor,” Mr Richer said about his career.

“During college we touched base with drag on as it is huge in the West End in lots of shows.”

Following college, Mr Richer’s career took him to the Canary Islands and Cyprus and he has been a drag artist for the past 15 years.

While having “no regrets” about working abroad, once back in the UK, Mr Richer said he and some friends started a drag queen show called The Ladybirds and it was “very, very popular”.

“It hadn’t really been done before [in Felixstowe],” he added.

Then, during the pandemic, an idea for his own showbar started to form.

“During lockdown I thought there was a market here so I looked at venues and I found this one above Mannings [Amusements],” he explained.

“I thought it was perfect and I could see the potential so I went for it.

“It was one of those things where if I didn’t do it I definitely would have regretted it.”
