Central Florida’s 1st place Favorite Local Photographer; Favorite Local Performer: Drag Queen
Loc Robertson has been a part of Orlando’s LGBTQ community for nearly his entire life.
A native to Central Florida, Robertson has done and seen it all when it comes to The City Beautiful.
“I love the diversity that it has to offer,” he says. “It has grown in population quite a bit and I’m very excited to see the direction in which it goes.”
That growth has made Orlando one of the most inclusive and accepting places for LGBTQ people anywhere in the world.
“Central Florida’s LGBTQ community is like no other,” he says. “What I love most is that it has become an extremely inclusive community over the last several years and the number of allies has grown immensely.”
Robertson is no stranger to Watermark’s Awards for Variety and Excellence. He is a multiple winner for multiple categories in multiple years, appearing in such categories as Favorite Local Radio Personality, Favorite Local Bartender, Favorite Local Photographer and Favorite Local Performer: Drag Queen; the latter two he won this year.
Robertson goes by the name of April Fresh when all dragged up. He adopted the persona back in the late ‘90s where he won his first pageant, Miss Comic Strip, in 1999. He is also responsible for the Miss Comedy Queen pageant, something he started in 2005 that has grown into a multi-day nationally recognized event.
As April Fresh, Roberston can be found hosting and performing at all types of events throughout Central Florida including drag shows, comedy brunches, bingos, trivia nights and more.
“Thank you for your votes,” Robertson says. “It is quite an honor, and it is my pleasure to be able to entertain you at so many different LGBTQ friendly spots.”
