The avant-drag troupe talks the show’s history and hijinks
Comes a time in every person's life where they must shit or get off the pot. The talented crew of Poo Poo Platter – an institution in Austin's experimental drag scene – are getting off the pot.
Along with audience taste, the troupe’s personal performance styles have evolved, too. Bubu calls their early incarnation “rough and rowdy,” but through the years Poo Poo’s crew “became more refined and less problematic.” Cast member Kitty Buick agrees, adding that despite their start as “shock-drag,” Poo Poo Platter has expanded to new dimensions.
Good times must end – even those times when, as Bubu remembers, “ one of our GAG competitions, Sticky Gold was dressed as a pig in fetish gear and around in creamed corn.” Poo Poo’s ending marks a chance to explore new paths without feeling obliged to an familiar one: “Before we are all burnt out,” Summer Clearance summarizes, “let’s stay flaming!”
