Trans DJ Pearl E Monsoon has been entertaining people in the UK and beyond for more than 35 years, often sharing the stage with the likes of Boy George, Divine and Lily Savage. Camp, irreverent and quick-witted, she turned her hand to DJ-ing in the early 90s and quickly became popular with queer and straight crowds alike. Despite three heart attacks in 2009, she's still going strong and has just landed her own show on Gay Radio UK. She caught up with longtime friend Katrina Fox for a chat.

When did you first start entertaining?

I was always the first at school to join the drama classes and always got the leading female parts, as it was a boys school. It was my chance to get into drag, and as I always looked like a girl I carried it off very well!
