MANILA, Philippines — Drag fans were treated to a Sunday brunch filled with fun, amazing drag performances, and dose of shade at the “Shady Brunch” held recently at Vice Comedy Club.
This “Shady Brunch” edition was made special by the participation of “Drag Race Philippines: Slaysian Royale” international queens Yuhua, Siam Phusri, Kitty Space, and Ivory Glaze.
The event took place the Sunday right after Brigiding, who was also present, was crowned the competition’s winner.
Aptly called “Shady Brunch: Afam Edition”, the international queens engaged in the iconic Reading challenge with the local queens led by Brigiding,
Both sets of queens threw shade at the other and the audience were encouraged to vote “Pak” if the read was a slap, or “Wiz” if it was a flop.

The jam-packed venue had a very festive atmosphere with fans cheering on their favorite queen. International fan favorites Yuhua and Ivory Glaze even interjected Filipino words in their respective reads, much to the delight of the crowd.
Other queens present at the special Shady Brunch were “Slaysian Royale” runner-up Vinas Deluxe, finalist Arizona Brandy, another alum Bernie, and “Drag Race Philippines” winners Precious Paula Nicole and Captivating Katkat.
Brigiding, Vinas, and Precious make up the Divine Divas and competed on the inaugural season of “Drag Race Philippines,” but making the event more significant was the participation of NAIA Black and Shewarma — the winner and runner-up of rival reality competition “Drag Den” Season 1.
Produced by Adonis Events, the “Shady Brunch” is a very well-received variety show that continues to enliven the local drag scene.
