Andy Procopis On Dean Cain, The Brisbane Closet, And Why His Drag Name Is Mrs Leg Day
We asked comedian Andy Procopis to finish our sentences for the famous DNA Last Word interview! And we got speedos, Superman, and a drag name worth printing on a T-shirt…
My porn name would be… something easier to search than Procopis.
My drag name would be… Mrs Leg Day.
I prefer wearing speedo-style swimwear because… swimming naked is frowned upon at Bondi Beach.
My death row last meal would be… small plates to share. I’d ask them to flip the switch early.
My first love is… pop music.
I knew I was gay when… I saw Dean Cain as Superman in the ’90s. Now he’s in ICE. He’s made me cum. Now he’d make me leave.
Lady Gaga is… why you don’t give up.
The scariest thing I’ve ever done is… come out in Queensland. I come from the homophobic part of Brisbane, called Brisbane.
I would do anything for… a night with Henry Cavill. The Superman fetish never left.
The best thing about stand-up is… cracking a good joke. Sometimes it lands straight away, but other times you have to wrestle it into shape for weeks.
The worst thing about stand-up is… the late nights and people calling your sets “skits”.
If you want to turn me on instantly… take something off my to-do list.
The world would be a better place if… Women were in charge and voice notes carried jail time.
My favourite lesbian is… The ensemble cast of Lesbian Landslide at Midsumma 2011. Or Robby Hoffman.
When people come to my shows, they should expect… rapid-fire jokes. And if the jokes don’t hit, partial nudity.
