Lawrence Chaney on Standing Up For Yourself & Putting Your Home On The Map

The Pieces with Bimini

Tuesday, 3 February 2026 - 44 minutes

Lawrence Chaney brings bold comedy, unapologetic confidence and razor-sharp wit to the stage - whether in their crown winning performing in RuPaul's Drag Race UK (when they became the first Scottish queen to win the franchise), or in their activism.

Lawrence has become one of the UK's most vocal queens, balancing political activism with hilarious pop culture commentary. Whether dissecting current events or riffing about sharks and apples, Lawrence has built a career on authenticity, humour and refusing to apologise for taking up space.

On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Lawrence take a pitstop during their United Kingdolls tour to dive deep. From Lawrence's formative moment of fighting back with humour at school to their relationship with body image, this conversation is equal parts humanising and hilarious.

They discuss the importance of standing up for yourself without resorting to violence, and why words are more powerful than fists, as well as the state of political discourse and why weirdness is something to celebrate rather than hide.

Lawrence also shares advice for aspiring drag queens in Scotland, reflects on their Drag Race UK season, and reveals where they truly find their power.
