Sabryna Williams is not your grandma’s drag queen. She’s Sassy and B*itchy – oh, not as a personality, but as in her regular shows. She hosts Chill Bar’s Sassy Sundays and is a regular cast member of Oscar’s continually sold-out The Bitchiest Brunch, and how can we forget her ball dropping talents at Not Your Grandma’s Bingo, also at Chill Bar.  

A New Mexico girl, she traded one desert for another, and in her relatively short time (in drag years) in Palm Springs, has made her presence known. This fiery Latina is a chameleon of looks, from classic glam to punk chic, as is her attitude, and she can be your best friend or read you from across the room. Her social media one-liners left on other Palm Springs Queens’ posts are popcorn-worthy, she has come to town to slay. You may catch her out of drag slinging drinks from time to time, bring your debit card and best hangover remedy – you’ll need it. 

She stopped by for her GED Spotlight drink in hand… 

What is your hometown?  

Albuquerque New Mexico 

How did you come up with your drag name?  

I’m named after Sabrina Duncan of the original Charlie’s Angels because my drag mom said I was bossy, and sassy just like her. Williams is my drag mother’s biological mother’s maiden name. 

How long have you lived in Palm Springs?  

Three fabulous years.

What do you love about Palm Springs the most?  

Definitely not the summer!  

Favorite part about doing drag?  

Making people smile. 

Least favorite part about doing drag?  

People who don’t smile. Just kidding. It would probably have to be the padding process!  

Craziest drag story?  

I came out to my mother as a drag queen on an episode of Ricki Lake in 2003. 

Most un-drag thing you do?  

You can get out of drag?! I rarely get some time to myself, so I would have to say, sleep.  

Strangest hobby or talent? 

I don’t know if any of my hobbies or talents are strange, but I do love heels and I have a collection of over 40 pumps.  

What celebrity most needs a drag makeover?  

Does Marina Mac count as a celebrity?

Chill Bar.

Desert AIDS Project.

Farm.

Coconut Berry Red Bull and Vodka. 

What would the name of your biography be?

“It’s Not Right, but It’s Okay” 

Favorite song to perform?

“Show Me Love” by Robin S.  

What is your after-drag ritual?  

Breathe, unscrew my smile, take time to unwind and relax, and then fall asleep for as long as I can until I have to wake up and do it all over again!  

What’s your favorite pickup line?  

I don’t use pickup lines; they’re used on me.

Where can we find and follow you?   

I’m most active on Facebook, (Facebook.com/thesabrynawilliams) but you can also catch me on Instagram @thesabrynawilliams! If you have neither of those, I’m at Chill Bar every Saturday afternoon hosting Not Your Grandmas Bingo and every Sunday night hosting Sassy Sunday! Also, every Sunday morning at Oscar’s as a regular cast member in The Bitchiest Brunch
