Snatch Talk

All Star Winners

“Bet you didn’t expect to hear from SnatchTalk again so soon, but how could we not with the one off Drag Idol AllStars Winners coming up? Here’s a little run-through of each of the 16 times the Newcastle Drag Idol competition has ran since 2006 and the various contestants and winners over the years since. As well as some healthy speculation as to which previous winners we can expect to perform at the show on Sunday the 24th of September at Boulevard, has Cris really announced everyone?

Episode 6

Here it is FINALLY, the Final of Drag Idol 2023. This video took a very long time to record and edit with the studio sections being delayed, The Velvet Snatch being ill, and the sheer amount of things that happened on the night so thank you for being patient and please share this video so that everyone that is interested gets to watch it! The final at Boulevard was amazing as our four finalists: Arya Quinn, Dyldo, Ruby, and Vick The Prick, competed for the crown. They could do any performance they liked without a time limit and with use of the huge digital screen, and then, provided they got through the first round, they had to bring back a previous number from the competition, updated for the big stage. What would they all do? Well that’s what I’m here for. Including exclusive behind the scenes interviews and my own unwanted opinions on everything. this is Snatch Talk !

Episode 5

It’s another long one today as honestly the performances were so good. The Velvet Snatch ended up using bigger clips of them just so you could see how amazing they all were. It was the semi-finals of the competition this week and rather than the standard theme we had Disney Villains where each of the remaining contestants took on the role of a different villain to impress regular judges Ophelia Balls, Penni T, Plastiq, and Miss Rory. Also in exclusive backstage interviews we get to hear from the contestants, organiser and sound engineer Cris Howe, and judges Plastiq and Penni T on whether their week 1 predictions for the final had come true or not!
