wig

Fans often remark that they forget the characters are actually “a dude in a wig.”

The impressionist wears a bespoke hairpiece created by wig designers, which is regularly re-styled by a hairdresser.

And Mbuya’s personal favourite - jeans, a graphic T-shirt with her image on the front and a blonde wig.

She brought in Morris Roots, who worked on “Bob Marley,” to create the character’s wigs.

I’m not spending hours of the day looking in the mirror or getting made up or going to the hairdresser’s every day or wearing a wig or a corset.
