The fun night out we've all been craving for, Queenz - The Show With Balls offers a night of glamour delivered by five vocal powerhouses who are armed with song, sass and with plenty to say. This unapologetic dance party is spreading some joy around the UK as it tours.
Jaymi Hensley, a member of the boy band Union J who finished 4th on the X-Factor in 2012, returns to the show with his alter-ego 'Dior Montay'. I sat down with Jaymi to discuss the show.

A: I can’t remember many occasions of having more fun on stage, like I previously said every show is like living out my childhood dreams of being in a girl group haha
Q: What can an audience expect from the show?
A: I think they can expect old-school British comedy drag plus the looks and dancing of the new Ru era of drag! Plus our live vocals! I can honestly say the voices in this cast are sublime!!!
