Rhys Nicholson: ‘Get a hobby – don’t become a full-blown racist’

The comedian and Drag Race Down Under judge on Harry Styles, not having the legs for short shorts, and why sleep is the most expensive beauty product

You’re back on the judging panel of Drag Race Down Under vs The World. What do you think gives Australian queens the edge?

I think our drag tends not to focus as much on female impersonation. It’s about building a character. People like Lazy Susan, who’s on the judging panel this year, is one of my favourites because there’s no illusion about this being a man in women’s clothing, but there’s creativity to it. I think Australian drag is about creating art, as opposed to creating a woman.
