VARLA JEAN MERMAN on Hey Qween! with Jonny McGovern | Hey Qween 

Now what I'd love to see is a Winners season of Drag Race judged by actual drag royalty like Varla Jean, Bunny, Hedda Lettuce, Jackie Beat and Coco Peru !

Coco Peru, Varla Jean Merman, Hedda Lettuce, Sweetie, Acid Betty and Bunny were all Drag Queens I loved and inspired me to do drag. Seeing people recognize Varla warms my heart because he is truly Legendary and I tell every soul I meey about her.

Omg finally a real Legendary queen!

We owe everything to these Veteran Qweens. Thank you for bringing Varla on. 💜💜💜💜

In the early/mid 1990s, my gay improv comedy troupe did a show in Provincetown, MA and we used to go watch Varla Jean perform her show and would tell everyone we knew about it. She's a star, a legend, and a genius.

Pay attention, kids! THIS is drag ROYALTY! #varlajeanmermanforever

I was literally watching the Dragtime documentary (it’s on RU-vid for those who wanna see it) LAST NIGHT, coincidence? I think not. 20 years later and she’s still fabulous 😍

Lady Reds laugh is EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!! R.I.P ❤

Two seconds in and I can already tell this is where a handful of RPDR Queen's got there inspiration from. #legend

I am from Louisiana and when I was in my 20's I would see Varla perform in New Orleans! This is what you call talent!

She was my favorite queen from that 90's HBO documentary. So damn talented. These new queens don't hold a candle!!!! I was not even 10 yrs old when I first saw that doc. Love Varla!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

Girls Will Be Girls is an all time fave and we need more like it. Showcasing the talent and roots and the art of the incredible talent queens possess. Oozing drag out of every pore this beautiful lady. Thank you for this one! So entertaining and delightful. 💗✨

We need more of these classic queens! Teach the children!

I just saw Varla Jean Merman's new show Little Prick in Ptown and she was LEGENDARY. So smart. So funny. So talented. I feel so lucky to have gotten to see her live.

She started drag a year before I was born. Henny. She's an amazing fossil!!!! 💜💜💜💜

If someone can be Bianca's mother it would be only this beautiful living legend ❤

She really is a Legend! These queens paving the way for us Millennials!

When is Lady Bunny coming on?

4:18 Subtle eyeroll. I love Lady Red!

Varla Jean Merman is not only such an icon but one of the FUNNIEST QUEENS IN EXISTENCE!

One of my favorite HQ EVER. Nothing like seeing a VJM show.

Thank You for bringing her on! We all need more of the Queens that have been doing this ART for years and years to get some exposure! They are the ones that the RuGirls all aspire have to thank for their Platform.

I have been waiting for this ! Thank you so much xx

Her face and expressions reminds me a lot of Pandora Boxx ♥

My high-pitched voice also earned me a full college scholarship as a high tenor.

So much Varla Jean Merman Love here!!!!!

LEGEND.

Varla Jean!!! My first ever experience of drag. She is a riot.

Yassss mrs red! Looking fierce!!!

If anyone doesn't know what Varla Jean looks like out of drag, Google it. Kameron Michaels isn't the only muscle queen. Pure daddy! Shook hunties!!

Thanks Hey Qween!. Always surprising me, I love Varla!! 🙌🏻💖

A brilliant performer.

Now I know to bring that homegrown Washington state evergreen if I ever get to meet Lady Red.

ICON

My favorite show!

Lady RED!!! and Varla and JOnny of course...!!!

I love the classics ❤️

I remember watching a special she did on LOGO almost a decade ago &she was hilarious but I never knew her name because I caught it after the intro 🤷🏾‍♀️ my fav line from the whole show was “this girl, this girl she needs a peeeeeaaaaarl necklaaaaace”

5:40

Varla Jean luv her. She looks so old. Love her

I’m getting some Jaymes Mansfield and Pandora Boxx vibes from her.

1:26.... I live... for the intro.... ooo yazz....

I want to see a show with Her and Jaymes Mansfield

About time 😍

Adams wig looks like the guy from simply red

DRAG ICON! ❤️❤️❤️

the bestttttttttttttttttttt

She's great 💚

I feel like Varla inspired Jaymes Mansfields character. Also this is what Jaymes will be like in 50 years.

I need Jonny to introduce me at every first day of classes to let all these heteros what’s good

Lady Red is a golden Goddess!!🤗🤗

She's a damn legend! So incredibly talented too! We're so thrilled to feature Varla in the DRAGSTRIP 66 "Frockumentary!" || ds66thefrockumentary.com

What was the name of the restaurant she said to go to dinner then see a show? I couldn’t hear her well.

❤️❤️

FUCK YEAAAA

I’m in love with lady red make up in this one, just in this one.

She wore the same outfit on Watch What Happens Live. She has an amazing wardrobe but odd to wear the same one twice on web or cable program.

LADY RED FOR SEASON 12 💕💕

reminds me of jaymes mansfield

I’m I’m love with Johnny

Johnny doesn't do this incredible artist justice ....the humor goes over his head and the banter is annoying ....argh , she deserves so much better !

I LIVE FOR VARLA but her face looks CRAZY!!! Do you think she's on steroids? #rumors

Who again?

Every intro to Hey Queen; Jonny: Hey Qwaaayyn how are you? Lady Red: I'm good how are you Qwaaayyn? *Awkward Silence* Jonny: Yaaaaaassss!! *Flips Fan* Adam Joseph: "Haaaaaaayyyaayyyyaaayyy Qwaaaayyyynn!!" Jonny: "YAAAAAASSSSS!!" Lady Red: "YAAAASSSSS!!" Jonny: "YAAAAAASSSSS!!" *Flips Fan* Lady Red: "YAAAASSSSS!!" Jonny: "YAAAAAASSSSS!!" Lady Red: "YAAAASSSSS!!" *Earth explodes*

Wtf is this? I’m on the wrong side of RU-vid again
