Jan Sport on Reinvention, Drag Culture & Embracing Imperfection

For our first guest of the new season of The Pieces, we are joined by a drag icon who rose to international prominence after competing on Season 12 of RuPaul's Drag Race and later on All Stars, becoming known for her theatrical performances and infectious energy.

Jan Sport discovered drag through her now-legendary Kris Jenner impersonation - but she has always blurred the lines between theatre, pop culture and drag artistry. Her journey from liberal arts student to Drag Race contestant to West End performer (currently starring in Oscar At The Crown in the West End) showcases her commitment to pushing creative boundaries.

On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Jan dive into the evolution of drag culture in New York and London, discussing how the visibility of Drag Race has transformed the scene. They explore the pressure to be perfect versus the beauty of imperfection, the competitive nature of modern drag and why taking breaks can reignite creative passion.

Jan opens up about iconic Drag Race moments, the realities of online criticism, and learning that someone else's success isn't your loss.
