“The sun never sets on Bertha Vanayshun’s oppression.” On this episode, your hosts Martyr (@dragthemartyr) and Cate (@ctepper) sit down with the Glam Award-nominated Comedy Queen, Bertha Vanayshun! We discuss her Caribbean roots, love for Rihanna, disillusionment with the art world, being part of Maddelyn Hatter’s drag family, and performing in front of Sasha Colby. Later, we hear more about losing successfully in drag competitions, being a “bar queen,” her love for pirates, making Ariana Grande camp, and bringing the fire to the Glam Awards.
