Crystal

Crystal is the stage name of Colin Munro (born November 1, 1985), a Canadian-British drag performer, TV host and personality best known as a competitor in the first season of RuPaul's Drag Race UK. Early life Born in Newfoundland and raised in Nova Scotia, Munro is the stepson of poet Susan Goyette. Munro attended university for costume design, as mentioned in his podcast. Career Munro moved to London, England in the late 2000s, initially to work as an aerial performer in the circus, before expanding into drag performance. He initially went by the drag name Crystal Beth, a pun on crystal meth, but changed his drag name to just Crystal before appearing on Drag Race UK on the grounds that he did not want to be perceived as making fun of the serious issue of drug addiction. Munro has also stated that he always wanted to be known as just Crystal, and initially chose the longer name only because when he was new to drag he thought there was a rule that drag queens always had to have two names rather than one. In London's drag scene, Crystal was best known for Mariah and Friendz, a regular drag night inspired by Mariah Carey and, in Crystal's own words, "bringing in touches of delusion, bad fashion and lip-sync malfunctions."
