Sober and Fabulous: Nancy NoGood's Journey in NYC's Drag Scene

I would say the biggest event I have is just my drag brunch, that's every Sunday. But the reason I want to highlight it as a sobriety news is because, uh, where I perform my drag brunch every Sunday in Bushwick at drama dairy bar.
Imagine strutting down 42nd Street in a rage, only to find yourself reigning over the wild drag stages of New York City. That's just a snippet of the rollercoaster ride that is Nancy NoGood's life. In this lively episode of 'Sober Sallies', hosts Alex and Bridget welcome their very first guest, the fabulous Brooklyn-based drag queen, Nancy NoGood.
Nancy opens up about her path to sobriety amidst the glitz and chaos of the NYC drag scene, offering a raw and honest look at the highs and lows of living alcohol-free in a world where the drinks flow freely. From summer camp flings to commanding the stage at Dromedary Urban Tiki Bar, Nancy's story is as colorful as her performances.
She dives into how sobriety has not only transformed her life but also fueled her creativity, making her shows even more electrifying. The conversation also touches on the broader drinking culture within the LGBTQ+ community and the importance of self-advocacy in sobriety. Alex and Bridget add their own experiences to the mix, creating a rich tapestry of stories that will resonate with anyone on a similar journey.
Whether you're navigating social events without a drink or just curious about the intersection of drag and sobriety, this episode is packed with insights and laughs. So, grab a comfy seat and join the Sober Sallies for a chat that's as enlightening as it is entertaining.
