Kings of Joy Partners with Bambuddha Studios to Launch Drag King Podcast ποΈπ
Oct 02, 2025From Rehearsals to Recording: Our New Chapter with Bambuddha Group
For over two years, Kings of Joy found a home in a Sydney coworking space, thanks to the support of Bambuddha Group—a social enterprise known for leading with purpose. It became more than just a venue. It was where we held:
- Drag King rehearsals
- Our beloved Palace Parties
- And built our community Drag King wardrobe
It was the heart of connection, collaboration, and creativity for our growing queer community.
Introducing Bambuddha Studios: A New Home for Purpose-Led Voices
Now, our partnership has entered an exciting new chapter: Bambuddha Studios — a state-of-the-art podcast and content studio in Sydney, designed for people who are leading change.
“With Kings of Joy, we saw someone already leading with heart and boldness. This isn’t just a sponsorship — this is co-creating a platform.”
— Anna Sheppard, CEO, Bambuddha Group
At Bambuddha Studios, their motto says it all:
Lead with Purpose. Share with Impact.
Whether you’re a creator, activist, or founder with a story to tell — this is a studio that understands the power of authentic storytelling and personal brand.
This isn’t just a space—it’s a studio that understands the power of personal brand, of voice, and of visionary storytelling. And it’s where the next season of the Kings of Joy Show is being born.
True to Kings of Joy style, we’ve made the set our own.
We built our very own Kings of Joy set using old records I found at Reverse Garbage. Spray-painted gold, layered with stick-on brick, a black-out curtain, gold records and plush purple chairs—it’s giving DIY glamour with Drag King flair.
The Kings of Joy Show: A Drag King Podcast Celebrating Queer Voices
