That Time Thorgy Thor Did Her Drag Routine on Drugs

The former 'RuPaul's Drag Race' contestant relived the night she basically broke her back, but performed anyway—with a little help from a few pills, a dash of vodka, and a wheelchair.

Thorgy Thor’s tour across America with her fellow RuPaul’s Drag Race contestants was going great—up until the night she hurt her back so badly she could barely move. Luckily, one of her sisters happened to have a few pills on hand that made the pain go away, and after popping about eight of them, Thorgy wound up feeling good enough to go ahead and take the stage.

VICE sat down with the diva to hear all about that night’s drag routine, which she pulled off from a wheelchair after a healthy swig of vodka.
