Lady Bushra: Embracing Her Identity as a British Asian Drag Queen

Lady Bushra, whose real name is Bradford Amir Dean, is a renowned British Asian drag artist based in the UK.
Over the past four years, Lady Bushra has gained significant recognition in the industry, performing at various comedy nights and cabarets across the globe, from Los Angeles to Liverpool.

This week, she commenced her first UK tour, titled "Saree About It," with a show at Manchester's Frog and Bucket comedy club.

In an interview with the BBC, Lady Bushra discussed her upbringing as a gay individual in Bradford, her role as a South Asian representative in the British drag scene, and her top make-up techniques.

Growing up in Bradford, Lady Bushra faced challenges as a gay person, but she never let that deter her from being true to herself.

She shared her experiences of dealing with prejudice and discrimination, stating that her family was supportive and accepting of her identity.

However, she acknowledged that not all South Asian communities are as open-minded, which is why she feels a strong responsibility to represent her heritage in the drag scene.

Lady Bushra's presence in the British drag scene is significant because she is one of the few South Asian artists in the industry.

She believes that her unique background allows her to bring a fresh perspective to the art form, and she is proud to be a role model for young South Asian individuals who may be struggling with their identity.

When it comes to make-up techniques, Lady Bushra is a master of her craft.

She shared some of her tips for creating a flawless look, including the importance of a good base, using the right shades for contouring, and ensuring that the eyebrows are on point.

She also emphasized the significance of confidence and personality in drag performance, stating that it's not just about the way one looks, but also about the energy and charisma they bring to the stage.

In conclusion, Lady Bushra's journey as a British Asian drag queen is one of self-acceptance, resilience, and representation.

Her experiences growing up gay in Bradford have shaped her into the strong and confident performer she is today, and her commitment to representing South Asians in the drag scene is inspiring.

With her unique blend of humor, talent, and authenticity, Lady Bushra is undoubtedly making a mark in the world of drag and paving the way for future generations.
