“Lady Bunny is arguably the city’s reigning drag queen, less a mother hen than a queen bee with plenty of sting. Her signature look — big curves, bigger hair — has endured, as has her act: scowling, spiky comedy, laced with political jabs and honeyed with Southern-fried gregariousness.”

“[She also worries that drag is losing its subversive edge.] I do differentiate myself from the cookie-cutter drag that’s out there today,” she told the New York Times [from the Michael Schulman piece]. “Ru wears a flower in his hair, so everyone wears it. I don’t want to be just like someone else. I would rather see a busted booger queen who has smeared glitter all over her face and black tattered teeth come and tear a number up,” she added, “than one who spent five hours on her makeup on the highest-priced cosmetics, but has nothing to do onstage.”

“Where RuPaul Charles has reached international ubiquity thanks in part to his quotable platitudes about self-love, as well as his knack for translating the world of drag into something more digestible for the mainstream, Lady Bunny has taken an alternative route. Her no-bullshit politics and subversive humor wouldn’t cut the mustard on national television, but for many drag purists, it represents the heart of what drag is all about.”

“A downtown drag fixture for over two and a half decades, in her new show ‘Clowns Syndrome’ the self- professed “pig in a wig” has crafted the funniest, most engagingly thoughtful and by far the most entertaining drag show I have ever seen.”

“Most of Lady Bunny’s best lines are unprintable here, but more than any performer I saw this year “the old pig in a wig,” as she calls herself, made me weep with laughter, often while groaning with disgust. And isn’t that what the best low comedy is all about? ”

“There are some people who were simply born to be the life of the party and nightclub fixture Lady Bunny appears to be one of them.”

“Bunny is more of an old-school clown-slash-entertainer, whereas RuPaul has become more of an Oprah-like oracle. They’ve become kind of the yin and yang of drag.”
