'I've wanted to do this my whole life'

Ady Dayman

Available for over a year

Just before he turned 50, Kevin NcCube, wanted to show the world the real him. Kevin likes to dress in drag, which means wearing women's clothing and make up. But he's never come out in public, partly thanks to the restrictions of growing up in Zimbabwe. This is the story of Kevin attending a 'drag brunch' at Leicester's Rainbow and Dove pub. Helen McCarthy was by his side.
