“Previous promoters, managers and agents have been dishonest, promising the girls the moon before discarding them at the first opportunity,” Divina De Campo says, reflecting on a UK drag scene marred by unpaid fees, cancelled shows and poor working conditions.

Determined to transform the scene and restore trust with audiences, the RuPaul’s Drag Race UK icon and opera diva has launched Kiki Entertainment with producer-marketer Stefan Evans, a production company helping rising drag stars and queer entertainers navigate their careers more safely and sustainably.

“It’s ruined a lot of queens' lives, queens who have been absolutely counting on getting paid have not seen the money,” De Campo tells Gay Times. “Now a fellow drag queen who has also been burned in that exact same way is stepping in order to make this happen. Hopefully, it can restore some of the trust that's been lost between the queens and promoters, managers and the audience as well.” 

For their biggest venture yet, De Campo and Evans will hit the road this April with the RuPaul’s Drag Race UK season seven cast — including Bonnie Ann Clyde, Bones, Catrin Feelings, Chai T Grande, Elle Vosque, Nyongbella, Paige Three, Pasty, Sally ™, Sillexa Diction, Tayris Mongardi and Viola. De Campo promises a show unlike any club performance, with fierce choreography, cutting-edge lighting and sound, and full-scale production values.

Here, Divina De Campo opens up about why she launched Kiki Entertainment, how being a drag artist uniquely equips her to run a touring company, and her vision for transforming the UK drag scene.

Divina, I'm so happy to be catching up with you. How is your 2026 going so far?

Good, lots of stuff is happening. I've already had a solo tour, which went really well and it was exactly what I wanted. 2026 is keeping on, keeping on, which I'm happy about.
