It’s not every day the Chicken Shop gets turned into a queer comedy cabaret, but drag icon Trixie Mattel made sure to do just that on her recent appearance in Amelia Dimoldenberg’s hit YouTube series Chicken Shop Date. With deadpan flirting, drag queen confessions, and one particularly jaw-dropping fan quote, the latest episode delivers chaos in the best way possible.
Starstruck, Flirty, and a Little Bit Confused
From the moment Trixie walked in, the vibe was pure queer camp. “I’m actually quite starstruck,” Amelia confessed before nervously adding, “You seem very attracted to me.” Trixie, always quick with a read, teased, “You seem very attracted to me,” prompting Amelia’s classic stammer before sheepishly admitting, “Yes.”
Amelia then asked if Trixie likes girls, to which Trixie replied: “In any scenario, I prefer there to be more women than men… except in bed. As long as the men outnumber the women in bed, I’m fine.” It’s the kind of outrageous yet dry-witted exchange fans of both queens live for.
Drag Queen Myths, Hip Replacements, and STIs
Trixie opened up about the physical demands of drag, or at least, how she avoids them. “I can’t death drop, split, or backflip,” she admitted. “Katya does all that. She had to get a hip replacement by 40.”
Later, when Amelia asked if there are any misconceptions about drag queens, Trixie shot back with a knowing smirk: “That they’re nice.”
In one of the more scandalous reveals, Trixie shared that during her first hookup in the UK, the guy she slept with ended up getting gonorrhea. “That’s showbiz, baby!” might as well have been the subtext.
Amelia’s Accidental Dating History and Midwest Royalty
“I keep dating gay men by accident,” Amelia said at one point, prompting Trixie’s confused but hilarious reply: “Don’t they know that you’re a woman?”
When Amelia asked for three things that sum up the Midwest, Trixie praised the region’s “dry sense of humor” and told Amelia, “You’d do very well there. You could be their princess. Oh wait… Chappell Roan is the Midwest princess.”
A quick shoutout to the Good Luck, Babe! hitmaker never hurts.
“Chicken! Chicken!” and Rake-Worthy Fan Moments
Toward the end of the interview, Trixie flipped the script and asked Amelia what fans say to her in public. Her answer? “Chicken! Chicken! Oh my God, chicken!” a surreal but fitting fan encounter for the creator of Chicken Shop Date.
Trixie responded in kind. “Do you know what people say to me and Katya?” she asked. Amelia bit, and Trixie delivered with perfect timing: “Fk my p*y with a rake.”
If that isn’t queer internet culture distilled into a single sentence, what is?
A Perfect Pairing of Icons
Trixie and Amelia prove that the best interviews are less about hot wings and more about hot takes. From STI oversharing to straight-up nonsense, their episode is a reminder that when queer humor and awkward British charm collide, the results are legendary.
