Boys That Slay: Meet the new Kings of Joy Gold Stars!

kings of joy Aug 20, 2024

What do you get when you put 5 members of a boy band together? BTS. That’s right. Boys That Slay. 

Introducing the newest Kings of Joy, ready to showcase their debut performance this week at Queers of Joy 22 August. 

There’s a stellar lineup of trans and gender-diverse artists - including our very own Fine China!

I’m glad you’re here to meet these Kings. They really are something else. Just wait until you see them burst onto the stage!

Introducing L to R…

👑 Chuck Schmuzha

👑 Jackson Bollocks

👑 Chad Pole

👑 lil’ Freddie

👑 Kevin Hung 

You’ll have to get in quick for tickets as I’ve heard there’s a whole soccer team coming for these Kings, thanks to our local queer club, the Flying Bats. ;)

Yes bet, I’m there!

Plus, a big shout out to Jim Junkie and Max aka Tea Boi who coached and helped with choreo for this group - what a dream team! 

If you want to learn how to become a Drag King, don’t do it alone - do it with a Drag King crew. Because Kings who tape together, stay together.

Yes! I wanna be a Drag King!

I’ll see you tonight at The Red Rattler my friend.
