Katya Zamolodchikova, star of RuPaul’s Drag Race, is coming to National Student Pride, on 25 February 2017 – and she wants you!
Katya, who finished fifth in season seven of Drag Race then went on to participate in All Stars 2, and was a runner up. Famed for her gymnastic routines, her odd personality and awesome rap verse in Read U Wrote u leaves an impression wherever she goes.
And following on from last year’s Student Pride, where Alaska hosted and judged an incredible lip sync battle, Katya will be hosting and judging a talent extravaganza. We can’t think of anyone better to cast their eye over the flair and aptitude of the best UK LGBT+ students and what they have to offer than the first lady of Russia.
Guests can also expect a performance from the queen herself.
