Joey Arias

Joey Arias is preternatural. No other word suits this iconic performer, who defies all pre-conceived notions of drag, theatre, and gender.

He is the only guest to have greeted us with his own sound effects, setting the tone for what would be one of our most entertaining interviews to date. During our time with him, we traced his life journey through stories about his upbringing, early days in New York, and world travels. Joey entranced us with anecdotes about his family; friendships with Klaus Nomi, Susanne Bartsch, and Manfred Mugler; and his numerous escapades with Sherry Vine. And these are just the tip of the iceberg!

In order to fully appreciate our interview with Joey Arias, do as he does - don your birthday suit, dance, and break out your good gong!
