He added: " When I came to London and I'd come from the North East , that became a bit of a cornerstone of who Ginger was. . because it set me apart from everybody else. "
During drama school, Ginger was forced to lose his accent because he was told he would " never get a job".
" And now I spend my entire professional life putting on The Accent that was beaten out of me, " He Said .
Tomara Thomas hails from Hartlepool and describes The Town as supportive.
" If you are successful, in whatever it is, people are going to be Behind You , " Tomara said.
Tomara started doing drag as part of dance competitions at the Age Of 14.
The 25-year-old, who uses he/him pronouns out of drag, said his Dance Teacher encouraged him to try it and gave him the name Tomara.
" My Dance Teacher really did open my eyes to drag because my Dance Teacher was like, you would be such a fabulous drag queen and I was like, really?, " He Said .
He was successful but stopped doing drag while going to Stage School and working as a professional dancer on cruise ships.
It All changed during lockdown when he moved back to Hartlepool and started experimenting with different make-up looks.
" I've only been doing drag for two years now, " Tomara said.
" It's crazy because it's All happened. It's just meant to be, I feel. "
'Fell in love'Newcastle's Michael Marouli, 39, started doing drag at the Age Of 22 after seeing a show for the First Time during a holiday in Gran Canaria .

Michael, who uses he/him pronouns out of drag, said: " I've always been proud to be a Geordie and to fly The Flag . I just think we have that inherent, daft humour. "

Getting to be on RuPaul's Drag Race alongside two other queens from the North East was " so nice" Michael said.
" It's The Most amazing representation of the North East because We Are so different and we've each got Our Own thing.
