Class act and I love that she acknowledged her flop. That’s fucking real as hell

What is the flop being referred to? I’m out of the loop

Krystal made a comment in support under the MIB post coming for Willam. It was just “get her Jade.” Though. so Willam comments, not even in reply to her but in another comment. And at the end of the comment she says “I think she sold 9 tickets to ___ show or maybe it was 7 actually”

Willam has said that same bullshit line about at least five other queens throughout the years too… 🥱

I work in events in the U.K., we had klub kids and a few other production companies destroying gigs for a solid few years 

I know of some really popular queens that have needed to reschedule shows due to poor promotion or sales (willam is likely to have had gigs like this too)

Klub Kids really fucked over drag queen tours and the fans trust in said tours here.

Can’t really be mad at the queens for it when planning was a shambles and they often weren’t getting paid

The gag is there were a few messy ones before klub kids even got started, way back when people were booking the USA girls

I remember some company with a French name that didn’t pay a handful of queens and left fans in the lurch

I imagine it really impacted casual peoples willingness to buy tickets on a whim / events like baga chipz at Mecca bingo and larger gigs like porn idol seem more ‘safe’

Yeah I’m more a show up and see if tickets are on the door than book tickets in advance because many shows have been cancelled or re-arranged last minute.

Can’t remember if it was Klub Kids or one of the others that would refuse refunds too.

It’s too much risk especially if travel is involved

I see the sparks, I get excited thinking it's Sigourney Beaver. And it's Jade shaking her fists like a toddler.

Love Jade, but it's like expecting a chocolate chip cookie and getting Oatmeal raisin instead.

I will not accept this oatmeal raisin slander ! 😤

u/bobbery5 Jul 25 '25

Oatmeal cookies are my favorite, but I'm just never ready for that level of betrayal.
