A Chat with Ross Mathews

Balancing It All
You’re constantly balancing multiple projects — from RuPaul’s Drag Race and The Drew Barrymore Show to writing, fashion, and live appearances. How do you stay grounded, organized, and still enjoy the process?
Easy! I love it all! Nothing feels like work. It feels like playing. It always has. Sure it can be grueling and I can get exhausted, but I wake up again the next morning excited for what’s next. That’s the key. 

Finding the Pride Spirit
June is Pride Month, and you’ll be part of Sycuan’s Pride Weekend celebration. What helps you get into the Pride spirit each year, and what does this season mean to you personally?
For me, pride isn’t a day or weekend or a month. It’s a way of life. I love being gay. I can’t imagine being anybody else. And our community deserves to be proud of who we are. Every human deserves that!

Inside A Lil Bit Judgy
You’ll be joining your friend and fellow Drag Race judge Carson Kressley for your live show, A Lil Bit Judgy. What can audiences expect from the experience, and what makes performing together so much fun?
A good freaking time! A chance to close the door on the outside world and laugh! Carson is so funny and charming and fabulous and we just adore each other. Always have. Always will. This is a chance for us to connect with people in real life and spread joy. Sounds cheesy, but it’s true!

Celebrating at Sycuan
How special is it to have a welcoming and inclusive destination like Sycuan Casino Resort celebrating Pride and creating a space for the LGBTQ+ community to come together?
I love Sycuan Casino Resort! This is at least my third time performing here and they are always so welcoming, kind and supportive. Just what the world needs! Plus it gives me an excuse to play the penny slots!
