Summary

Dee Daniels welcomes listeners to the Made of Savannah podcast from Savannah's hottest and most entertaining nightspot Club One! She is sitting just below the fabulous stage and runway with fan-favorite, award-winning Drag Performer Blair Williams to discuss legacy, exciting changes for Club One, and the evolution of drag. THANK YOU TO OUR SEASON 6 SPONSOR: ETHAN ALLEN SAVANNAH THIS EPISODE IS ALSO SUPPORTED BY: NEW OAK THEATRE Blair talks about being nominated again for best local drag performer (after winning in 2020), how she started performing at Club One in 2008 after a long break, and touring opportunities from being Miss Gay America. They reflect on Club One’s deep legacy, including Lady Chablis, her preserved dressing room messages, and what it was like performing in Chablis’ tightly structured shows. She also highlights signature numbers like Reba and Pink and praises the current Club One cast as the most talented cast she's worked with! Blair shares how Savannah’s tourist-heavy weekend crowds differ from more local off-night audiences, how drag has evolved to include more diverse performers, and how today’s bar for performance and branding is higher than ever. They also discuss politics, safety, and community support, plus Club One’s upcoming move to the former Club Elan space with an exciting new vibe on the calendar, better sight lines and a full-service restaurant.
