“HELP IS ON THE WAY, DEAR!” — and this time, it’s coming straight from Scotland’s finest. Lawrence Chaney, the beloved winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK Season 2, made a triumphant return to RuPaul’s Drag Race Live! in Las Vegas with a fierce and funny tribute to one of pop culture’s most iconic characters: Mrs. Doubtfire.
Strutting onto the Flamingo showroom stage in full housekeeper glam – think powder-blue cardigan, pearls, glasses, and just the right amount of cheeky mischief – Chaney turned the Vegas spotlight into a heartfelt homage to Robin Williams’ legendary 1993 role. The crowd went wild as she belted out the line, “Help is on the way, dear!” before diving into a number full of drag camp and comedic brilliance.
Lawrence announced the moment with a playful post on Instagram, quoting the line with the caption: “HELP IS ON THE WAY DEAR!”
Chaney’s performance marked her dazzling return to the Drag Race Live! stage, joining a rotating cast of queens from across the Drag Race multiverse. But this wasn’t just a one-night gag.
Fans have celebrated Chaney’s crossover from the UK franchise to the Vegas mainstage, noting how effortlessly she blends drag excellence with pop culture nostalgia. Her Mrs. Doubtfire look was more than a costume – it was a love letter to queer-coded comedy, chosen family, and the kind of performance that makes drag magical.
Social media lit up with reactions, with one fan tweeting, “Lawrence Chaney doing Mrs. Doubtfire in Vegas? This is the multiverse of madness I want to live in.” Another wrote, “Robin Williams would be proud. That was camp, heart, and high drag all rolled into one.”
Lawrence’s appearance underscores drag’s power to reimagine cultural icons with humor, reverence, and a high heel. Her tribute to Mrs. Doubtfire tapped into the gender-bending joy of the original film while giving it a fabulous new twist – one that could only come from a Drag Race winner with impeccable comedic timing and unmatched stage presence.
Since snatching the crown on Drag Race UK Season 2, Lawrence has continued to win hearts around the world with her fearless authenticity and hilarious charm.
With her return to Drag Race Live! and a starring role in Untucked, it’s safe to say that Lawrence Chaney is officially living the Vegas fantasy. Whether she’s serving West End-worthy performances or lip-syncing in full nanny drag, one thing’s certain: the queen from Glasgow is here, she’s queer, and she’s not afraid to throw on a wig and a brooch to prove it.
