Pollyfilla

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pollyfilla (aka Colin McLean) is Wellington's most famous drag artiste. She was conceived in 1999 by at the time 21 year old Colin McLean of Lower Hutt and through the years has become an icon not only of Wellington's Queer community, but the wider community and New Zealand as a whole, performing regularly at social and community events, attending GLBT rights rallies, entertaining on stage, film and television, as well as being the mainstay for drag entertainment at Wellington's popular gay venue Pound Nightclub and Bar.

Pollyfilla performs annually during the Summer City festivities in Wellington and opens many GLBT themed events and exhibitions. She has been honoured many times for her work for the GLBT community and her contributions to Wellington's cultural fabric.

Colin has now moved from Wellington and now resides in Melbourne, Australia.
