One of the girls from RuPaul’s Drag Race that’s expected to win it all is the dark and mysterious Sharon Needles, who looks like she could bite your eye out and gobble it up, after you gave her dollar, of course!
Like a dead debutante in drag, Sharon Needles effortlessly charms the crowd as she takes her hard earned dollars, throws them in a blender full of blood and then pours the unsanitary concoction down her throat.
Standing on the shoulders of spooky queens like Peaches Christ, Elvira, Cassandra Fever and Lady Gaga, Sharon Needles is exploding big time while managing to keep her guts from spilling all over the stage.
Today Sharon Needles joins us moments before her Chicago debut where she will enter from a coffin performing Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You.”
Listen as we talk about her edgy, scary name and why she dives headfirst into an empty swimming pool of controversy.
What did the queens say when RuPaul told them drag was indeed a contact sport after all and that they would have to wrestle each other?
Natalie Cole, a singer whose past struggles with inter-venous drugs gave Sharon a concerned look when she finally got what her name meant.
Her fabulous boyfriend, drag queen Alaska Thunderfuck.
And all your questions!

Sharon Needles was the guitarist’s name from the all girl hard rock band Betty Blowtorch, circa 1999.
See Documentary Betty Blowtorch on HULU . Who came first? Love her artistic visions.
Like Sharon told me off the podcast, the name Sharon Needles is like being a governor- every state has one.
Would anyone be willing to create a transcript? I’m deaf, can’t listen to the podcast.
Great show guys, sad that I missed you at sxsw this year!
Is there something wrong with the audio, or is it just on my end? I really want to listen to this because I love Sharon Needles, but I can’t hear the audio. I checked to see if it was on iTunes, but it’s only 1 second long on there. It’s probably just me since other people have listened to it, but I was hoping someone might have a solution. Thanks!
Wow Sharon, it was a real trip to get to know you better, the radio fit you so well. I know you are the queen of shock and you have great visual, but when you talk, clean and cut you are just irresistible, your mind blew me away, you are so down to earth, real and actual. You have so much to give, seems you use all the negativity of the past and turn it into something good, very good, and that is to me Godlike even if you claim Satan as your boss. Well maybe God real name is Satan and is a drag queen that nobody really understand, ha!
Keep doing what you doing!! Your artistry is universal, you can be funny in any language or culture, can can real y make a big change. I was so tired of the typical bimbo drag with such a tunnel vision and low expectation and looking at you you bring hope to all our inner drag. I think I love you already!
Excellent interview. My friends & I got to meet her Saturday night at the local drag show in Mobile, AL! Absolutely amazing! She brought the house down! She was so pleasant & kind after the show I even got a couple pics & a hug! Words can’t describe the radiance, intelligence, & appreciation for all things different that emanates from this performer.
Intelligent, well-spoken, beautiful. I am glad she has made it to the top three. One of my favorite podcasts this year. Sharon, you’re awesome!
