Career

Diapre is a professionally trained actor, singer and dancer. [4] Prior to becoming a full-time drag performer, Diapre worked as a sales and events coordinator. [4] They chose the stage name Victoria Scone because they wanted "something very British." "I wanted something edible, being a curvaceous woman as I am. It's also a pun as in 'Where's Victoria? Victoria's gone!'" [4]
