We, the undersigned, call on the producers of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK and the BBC to cast Brenda LaBeau on the next season of the show.

Brenda LaBeau is a standout Liverpool queen at a time when Scouse drag has been missing from the Drag Race UK werkroom in recent seasons. Liverpool has one of the most vibrant, diverse and influential drag scenes in the country, yet it has not been represented on the show for far too long. Brenda embodies the city’s creativity, sharp humour, resilience and heart, which are qualities that define the very best of British drag.

Liverpool’s drag community has already given the show some of its most memorable performers, including The Vivienne, Danny Beard and Sister Sister. Their success and visibility demonstrate the exceptional standard of Scouse artistry. This history should be a reason to keep platforming Liverpool talent, not a justification for overlooking it. Brenda brings something entirely her own, and her voice deserves its moment on the national stage.

Her polished performances, quick wit and strong connection to community make her an undeniably strong contender for the next season. Casting Brenda would not only celebrate an exceptional entertainer; it would also restore regional diversity, highlight Liverpool talent and respond to the many fans who want to see Scouse drag represented again.

We urge BBC Entertainment and the Drag Race UK production team to recognise Brenda’s talent, local impact and national potential. Brenda LaBeau is ready for the werkroom, and audiences across the UK are ready for her.
