After appearing on the third season of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, River Medway quickly became a fan-favourite from the series. Since the show aired, River has travelled the UK on various tours, including the Pick’n’Mix UK Tour, The Main Event UK Tour and the official Drag Race UK Season 3 Tour. River also continues to carve a career throughout theatre, starring in UK tours and West End productions.
Christmas 2026, River makes her King’s Head Theatre debut to lead Dick Whittington and his Cat. Most recently River played Jem on the UK & Ireland tour of Here & Now: The Steps Musical, after playing the role in the World Premiere production at the Alexandra Theatre, Birmingham.
