Jay Colby Came to Play | Slightly Unhinged Season 2 Premiere
from Slightly Unhinged with Justin Pavis · host Justin Pavis
Season 2 is officially here, and Jay Colby is kicking things off. Jay is a proud trans woman from the legendary House of Colby, Willamette Week’s No. 1 Portland’s Finest Drag Artist of 2026, and one of the faces behind Brunch Portland. She joins Justin for the first episode in the new studio to talk glamour, drag, business, community, and what it actually takes to build something that sells out every weekend. They get into Jay’s journey from dancer to drag performer, the performers who gave her space, the House of Colby, learning business from sex workers, Portland drag, Seattle inspiration, drag husbands, self-work, public callouts, giving people grace, and why drag brunch is basically gay church. There is also a speed round, a ranch dressing tangent, and a possible Season 2 finale idea that we are choosing to treat as a threat. Welcome to Season 2. We are immediately off the rails.

What this episode covers
Season 2 is here, and Jay Colby is kicking it off the only way that makes sense: glamorous, loud, funny, honest, and fully unhinged. Jay is a proud trans woman from the legendary House of Colby, Willamette Week’s No. 1 Portland’s Finest Drag Artist of 2026, and one of the faces behind Brunch Portland. She joins Justin in the new studio to talk about going from dancer to drag performer, learning the business from sex workers, building a name in Portland drag, selling out brunches, finding support, doing the self-work, and giving people grace without losing the shade. There is also Catholic trauma, Costco, drag husbands, Mantle or Dismantle, ranch dressing, and a possible pole dancing situation that may or may not become a problem later. Welcome to Season 2. We are immediately off the rails.
