By which we mean she’s always in gay clubs, she’s familiar with passing out in public parks, and she regularly pretends she’s Madonna. In fact, her Madonna impersonation is legendary, and has become a cult hit on both sides of the pond (partly because we always insist on putting it on YouTube at house parties in Bethnal Green). But making fun of Madonna is more of a side-project. Nadya is a full time, respected comedian has been involved in some iconic stuff in the industry - she’s been a judge on RuPaul’s Drag Race, she’s written for Joan Rivers, and she’s just guest starred on CBS’ 2 Broke Girls.

In a rather conventional sense, great performing is often associated with a sense of interiority, becoming your character, identifying with your role. In that sense, a great performer could become anyone else simply by looking deep within herself. Of course, there’s a long history of performance practices that reject this model. Yet whether it is a matter of embracing or rejecting what is, so to speak, on the inside, there is an overarching belief that great performers are uniquely adept at locating themselves and using that self to build a world around them. It is no surprise then that today we are all expected to be great performers. Our lives are filled the endless capacity to shed one skin for another, to produce multiple cyber-personalities on a whim. We are hyperaware that our outsides are malleable and performative—and that our insides might be an endless resource for reinventing and rethinking ourselves (not to mention the world around us). So perhaps it’s almost too obvious to say that Jibz When I was a youth, say, about 8, I played a game in the Cameron, the mastermind behind Dynasty Handbag, is an incredible woods with my friend Ocean where we pretended to be hookers.
