Minnie Cooper is one of ten Drag Race Down Under Season 2 contestants competing for a $50,000 cash prize. She was “abandoned as a newborn and placed on the doorstep of Arq nightclub,” according to her Instagram bio, but “luckily, she was adopted and raised by drag queens.”
Minnie Cooper, 50, is the oldest and most experienced drag queen on Drag Race Down Under, which will premiere on WOW on July 30. The performances of the queens in different rounds and tasks will be evaluated. After many rounds of elimination, only the last queen will be declared the champion of Drag Race Down Under.
Everything you need to know about Minnie Cooper from Drag Race Down Under Season 2.
Minnie Cooper was “adopted and raised by drag queens,” and the queens taught her everything she knows about lipstick, platform shoes, impersonation, glitter, and everything in between. When she was six years old, the Australian artist began to perform drag. She has captivated audiences from Sydney’s Oxford Street to London’s Oxford Circus during her long and acclaimed career spanning over 20 years.
She has won more DIVA (Drag Industry Variety Honours) awards than anyone else, including Entertainer of the Year four times, Sydney’s Favorite Drag Queen and Choreographer of the Year. Minnie was also a semi-finalist on Australia’s Got Talent in 2016, wowing everyone with her acting and musical abilities. She also performed at Mardi Gras in 2018 for Cher and for Kylie Jenner in 2019. According to her official website minniecoopersydneydrag.com, Minnie Cooper has worked with celebrities such as Kate Miller-Heidke, Adam Lambert, Jimmy Barnes, Cyndi Lauper and Kylie Minogue, Tina Arena, Dannii Minogue and Australia’s most famous drag performer, Carlotta.
In 2018, the dancer, singer and choreographer debuted her solo performance, From Chorus Boy to Leading Lady, in the world of cabaret. Her performance won Best in Cabaret and Musical Theater at the Sydney Fringe Festival 2019. She even stole the show at Trevor Ashley’s Mardi Gala at the Sydney Opera House.

She thinks “knowledge is power” and draws on her experience as a drag queen to back it up. In the introduction to Drag Race Down Under, she remarked about her beau:
“I love saying this about Minnie Cooper’s darling, Cate Blanchett’s looks, but Chris Hemsworth’s voice.” I have these extremely sweet tones, but I don’t want to put myself in one box, because if you put yourself in one box, you’re fucking boring.”
Among other things, he enjoys singing, entertainment and tap dancing. Marie Cooper is currently competing for the prize money and the title of Drag Race Down Under on the program. The second season of the tournament will premiere on WOW on July 30.
