Cheddar Gorgeous


Cheddar Gorgeous is drag artist based in Manchester UK. He hosts Manchester’s monthly home of fabulous: Cha Cha Boudoir, and is the namesake of the Family Gorgeous. He is interested in drag beyond gender binaries and queer storytelling through club performance. His work has been featured in ID, Vice magazine and the New York times. When not dressed as a queen, king, cat, unicorn or any number of other assorted creations he spends his time writing and drawing in anthropology.

Cheddar Gorgeous uses his body as a 'canvas' with the ability to create a collage and a narrative. I find it an intriguing way to expressing himself and a creative way to fabricate different personas depending on his mood. It's his way to respond to the world, saying what he thinks and adding something to it. Cheddar Gorgeous' talk has left me free to think that anything can be used as canvas. Also, I have realised that expression and emotion can be expressed creatively in so many different ways. Furthermore, I have learnt to see the beauty and art that people express everyday in the way their hold and present themselves.
