Willam

Willam (, 1982, Philadelphia) is an American drag queen, actor, singer-songwriter, comedian and YouTuber whose sharp tongue helped shape modern Drag Race commentary. Before drag reality TV, she built a screen career, including a recurring role on Ryan Murphy's Nip/Tuck. In 2012 she competed on Season 4 of RuPaul's Drag Race and became the first contestant in the show's history to be disqualified — a footnote that only expanded her reach. She released music with drag trio DWV (with Detox and Vicky Vox) and later The AAA Girls (with Alaska Thunderfuck and Courtney Act), and appeared in Bradley Cooper's A Star Is Born. Willam also co-hosts the long-running Race Chaser podcast and produces the YouTube series Beatdown, where she picks apart makeup videos with cheerfully brutal honesty.
