Hi, Kimmi. So, tell me, what have you done since we last spoke?

I have been writing an EP with my producer. I’ve been working on a lot of production shows with Nick Gaga. And to be honest, just mostly working on my mental health.

So, how do you feel about co-hosting the Get Out awards?

Oh, my god! It is such an honor! Since the beginning, when I was a baby queen, I always looked up to Get Out magazine. I pray that one day I would be on the cover. And now, I’m hosting the awards with them. And I am super excited.

What are you most looking forward to?

Honestly, the celebration. Life is sometimes overwhelming and to be able to enjoy the experience with people you like around you with the same goals and love of art–I think that is mostly what I’m excited about.

Do you still live in Sayville?

Absolutely not. I love Sayville, but I need to be close to work.

Where are you working exactly? Give me your schedule.

I perform four nights a week. I perform Wednesday nights with the Assassins at Balcon. Friday nights at Playhouse Bar with the Assassins. Saturday night with my soul dance show with Nick Gaga at Balcon. Sunday nights is my solo show at Playhouse Bar.

So, you are still with the Assassins?

I am.

What are your plans for the New Year and beyond? Are we going to see you this summer on Fire Island?

TBA. It just switched ownership, so we are planning a lot of new things and a lot of old things as well. I don’t have too much information on that yet, but I will of course be returning. After the New Year, I am trying to balance my life as an artist and as a person. My goal is to put out a five-song EP by the end of summer.

What are you going to wear for the Get Out awards?

Something glamorous. I haven’t gotten that far yet.

Are you going to perform?

I do not get in drag unless I am performing. I’m excited to work with Ariel. She is the legend. We have a really good time together onstage. I had her on my late night show at Playhouse.

Why do you think you need to be cared for mentally?

Drag can be very overwhelming. It takes over a lot of your life, so you have to make sure there is balance. A good balance outside of your work. That is important for anybody, but especially artists that are working physically and mentally all the time. I dance four nights a week. I have to be sure I’m taking care of my body. And also my brain. Because I’m also hosting a show for like two hours, so it’s important to rest.

What is the name of the one-woman show?

I have a couple. But my solo show at the Playhouse is called “The Late Night Show” starring Kimmi Moore.
