It's no mystery or secret how much I enjoy Lawrence Chaney. * RuPaul * Lawrence Chaney is queen of the one-liner and the funniest queen by a country mile. She has delivered the laughs a locked down nation needed in abundance. But there's much more to Chaney than her quick wit. Her vulnerability is also part of her natural gift. * Vogue * Gorgeous, hugely talented, funny, charismatic, adorable, Chaney is a goddess and brings us joy. * </i>Lorraine Kelly * Our fabulous queen has arrived. Go Lawrence! * </i>Douglas Scott, author of <i>Shuggie Bain * A candid look back at Lawrence's journey so far - their difficult childhood, marred by bullying; their painfully relatable coming out story; their journey towards better mental health. It's not all serious - there are hilarious, NSFW sex stories, insights into the Drag Race UK werk room, and a practical guide on how to become - as the title suggests - a drag superstar. * Pink News *
