Welcome back to season 2, episode 5 of Little Town Big Queeries!

Join your queer co-hosts, Referee and Billie A, and our fifth special guest of season 2, Saint Omen. A local Drag Queen artist from Clogher who has also made a name of herself by performing in small town Enniskillen as well as the big city of Belfast!

Join in on the conversation as we discuss how Saint first got started in drag, her different styles and personas, the differences between performing in small towns vs big cities, her challenges and proudest moments of drag, her experiences coming out in her tiny village, the importances of expressing yourself, her support from her mother and younger brother, her time in South West College, her advice for younger local queers and experiences using Grindr.
