Eugene, you are fabulous!

Sandra Seaman

I loved this so much. I grew up in the Queer community (that's what happens when you're out at thirteen in a conservative town in the early 90s.), and drag has always been a touchstone for me. I'm legit tearing up seeing how committed you are to the community and seeing you get up on stage and just live the moment. I miss that, and sometimes it feels like there's less of that energy in the community now than there used to be. Thank you for continuing to keep me close to the heart of the community, which is that energy, that self-acceptance, and that defiant fearlessness. <3

As much as I love the Try Guys collectively, I’m sure that they still exercise their own lives and interests without each other sometimes. They’re really busy people as well so maybe they were booked for other things but I’m sure it wasn’t because they didn’t want to go!

Eddie Wheeler

Anyone else disappointed that the other try guys weren’t there to support him?

Lisa M Candanedo

Eugene you are amazing! And you were killing it, queen! I LOVE drag shows. You do you, hunny.

Jessica Sloan

Eugene is such a bad ass

Jennifer Clinkenbeard

That was incredible! Great job!

Janni Kouring Stensgaard

I'm SO fucking proud of Eugene! Because he makes ME proud! Not only has he opened up immensely the past few years, but he has had the courage to learn, evolve and open up, and try to be the best representative of the LGBT+ community he can be! That's why I'm proud to be a part of this!

Lauren Munday

I love this! Seeing Eugene so comfortable and accepted for who he is!!! I love the honest and real videos you guys have done lately. I feel like the guys are living the life they want to live.

Kari Wallman

You are amazing! We are all so proud of you! <3

Rachel Alexandria

WERK, QUEEN! <3

But like you said, you can START on IG and youtube. Sure! Can you also perform in clubs though? I think you should be able to do both. The girls who start in clubs have to learn how to craft their social media presence- the girls who start online have to learn how to craft their in person performance. It goes both ways.

Leigh Legler

This makes me sooooo happy! I love watching Eugene's journey as a queer human, and I love any video that shows off queerfolk joyful and flourishing in safe spaces!!! Thank you for bringing us with!

OMG mayhem needs to come to Cincinnati and teach the Drag Queens how it is done. They always snatch up the money the way he told eugene not to.

Jackie Warner

Omg I loved it! Such a good video. Makes me so happy.

Kate McDonell

Next time can we hear you sing? 😊🎶

Kate McDonell

Dat ass! ❤️❤️❤️👌

(Omg sorry for being a loser that posts multiple comments but drag is is one of my fave things ahhh) I'm Jasmine Masters and got something to say...can we get a full video of Cheyenne/Eugene's performance?? I know the copyright might be tough but maybe via daily motion/vimeo?? and Who made/styled that wig??

Chelsea

Aight, as someone who goes to drag shows in NYC and loves my scene: this is a great video about why club drag is good. I think you are going to get a lot of traction with drag fans ( a lot of drag race girls and other well knowns like Rhea and Vicky in it), but also you are entering a huge drag debate: do you have to perform in a club to be a real drag queen? Mayhem and Monique really touched on it with there statement on why queens should perform at clubs, but rn a lot of people disagree and feel like you can start on instagram and youtube. We have queens on drag race who aren't club queens. So this is going to drive that debate. Drag Race fans will watch this just to see Mayhem and Monique say that bc it's the topic of conversation in online drag spaces right now. So if you want- highlight that more bc people will be looking at this video for those clips. Also, be aware you might get negative comments from the insta/youtube queen crowd. (Personally, I think the whole thing is a bit much and I love a lot of queens that have rose to prominence on insta/youtube but love a lot of club queens who don't have major online presences soo yeah)

Huebert Keeper

This was great! What songs did you perform to? I'm so curios!

Jordan Harper

This video makes me SOOO happy!!! I only started to pay attention to drag this year thanks to a really good friend of mine and I am in LOVE with Cheyenne Pepper, honey ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💖

Yass Cheyenne!!! You go Kween!!! 😍❤️👏🏽

Swayze

Get it Girl! i loved the dress and the make up was on point! The more you do it the more you will feel comfortable doing it! To see you, and the whole drag community, being able to experience their true passion and have people love them for it is amazing. I love that our world as evolved enough that this can be appreciated instead of scorned. I know its not 100% but every time you put out these videos and show more of it to the public, thats one more person who opens their mind to diversity. Good for you!

Harmony Miller

Dat booty doe!

Khristine (with a 'kh')

Yaaaaaaaaaaassssssss!!! That’s our kween!

Diane

Serena Swanson

I live in a small town in Wisconsin and have no idea if we have anything like this anywhere. I'd love to support some people doing shows like this!

Stacey Boden

Allie Soliman

YES EUGENE! I’m so happy that you’re trying more drag stuff as Cheyenne Pepper!! You look so comfortable up on that stage!!!

Hayley Gregory

This was so touching and amazing! Eugene is so brave for just diving into his interests and acting on them. Such a great video.

The Queer Art Pagan

Fuck yeah! Workin' it! <3

Emily Hudspeth

So good!!

Another Stephanie

Fab-ulo-us! That night looked like a lot of fun! I hope we get to see or hear more about that birthday party!

Abby

Hey, girl, I live in Cheyenne, Wyoming. We don’t have drag shows here. It’s a pretty secluded place and we have to drive 2 hours to Denver to fly. Now we have more air travel at our Cheyenne airport and they do several daily trips to Denver. My in laws are on the board at our historic atlas theater. I could get you guys a venue. If it’s just try guys, same deal but it you come for Frontier Days you can catch the famous melodrama and even be in it! How cool would that be? Try guys try old fashioned melodrama.

Caitlin Gust

Here. For. Cheyenne. Pepper. Honey!

Melinda J. Trop

Eugene, the drive that you have to always learn more about yourself through your clothes, hair, and art has always been inspirational for me. It takes a lot of courage sometimes to be introspective with honesty, and even more to take those things you've learned and then act on them to continue growing yourself as a person. I admire the fact that you only ever seem transient in your comfort zone. It was great to see you enjoy this experience! Get it, Eugene!

Jackie

I have to say I attended my first drag show 2 years ago as I live in a small town where there aren’t many options for going out. It is still one of the most fun nights I’ve ever had. In addition to that I was so surprised because there was one drag queen there and damn when she came out I was like wow how am I so turned on right now? After watching this I know that’s the mark of a great drag queen!!

Lindsay Walker

Cheyenne looked amazing!

Madeline Jenkins

Applause! Applause! Applause for the Qween!

Claire F

C.S

Absolutely iconic wow

C.S

Bri Ann

Yasssss get ittttt!!!!! So fierce!!! You absolutely killed it!!!! So proud of you ❤

Magpie Swallows

Get it Cheyenne! I really appreciate you using your platform to show drag beyond Drag Race- I think sometimes people forget that there are so many amazing local queens out there to support and local bars that are safe spaces. You don’t need to be on Drag Race to be fierce.
