“Musical theatre was my entry point into understanding who I was” - Andrew LevittI learned about Nina West upon first moving to Columbus in 2017. Hilarious, political, unafraidto play the fool, all while supporting her humor with a fierce intelligence...Nina had been ananchor in the Columbus drag scene for a decade - thrilling audiences and working tirelessly toraise millions of dollars for various Ohio charities before landing a spot on season 11 of RuPaul’sDrag Race. Upon meeting Andrew, I immediately recognized that supporting the persona ofNina is one of the most engaging, dynamic, and big-hearted men I have had the privilege toknow. Today we talk about what it means to carry the mantle of responsibility to the LGBTQIA+community (my words, not his...he’s far too modest), serving as a constant example of what itmeans to be a citizen of the world and the punk of drag. Have a seat and hear us chat aboutKermit the Frog, drag bans, Hairspray, Purlie Victorious and philanthropy. I am so honored tocount this man as a dear pal, and am thrilled to be able to share our conversation with ourlisteners.
