Watch: Kiwi drag queen Taipei Popcorn in Taiwan

14 December 2022

In the space of only a few years, Taipei Popcorn, the creation of New Zealander Nick van Halderen, has become one of Taiwan’s most famous drag queens.

Earlier in the year, the Asia Media Centre published a piece by Taiwan-based writer Ron Hanson, interviewing Taipei Popcorn on their journey from Aotearoa to their life in Taipei. 

Here, we have a video interview with Taipei Popcorn talking about their drag persona and life on the stage. Watch below or on Youtube. Video directed by Damien Owen Trainor.
