Meet the Many Royal Faces – TONIGHT at Drag Kingdom 👑

drag king culture Nov 13, 2025

It’s happening tonight. Drag Kingdom returns to The Red Rattler, bringing together the full force of the Kings of Joy community in a night of bold expression, queer joy, and Drag King frivolity.

Every performance you’ll see tonight is not just a number—it’s a moment. A glimpse into another world. A story told through swagger, sequins, sweat, and sometimes… cream.

So, who rules the Kingdom?

🎤 I Wanna Be Your Slave

What starts as a casual karaoke night quickly turns high-stakes when these lads decide to film their own Eurovision audition. Expect chaos, charm, and gender-bending showmanship from Tam Bam Thank You Man, Loki Lewk & Captain V. Cockovich.

💥 Dildo Baggins takes us on a cheeky First Date that may or may not involve second base.

🚢 Girls & Boys

How much do gays love a holiday? Join the gang on a gay cruise—but watch out, the Captain might just go overboard. Featuring Captain Bluecock, Dustin le Rugrat, Rainbowgan, Ricky, Bad Boy Cameo & Hans Baller.

🍰 Cream

A troupe of modern-day butlers brings charm, chaos, and cream to their VIP guests—flirting dangerously with the line between service and seduction. Performed by Ragnor the Ravishing, Cherry Packer, Chuck Schmuzha, Dusty Evans & Earl Gaye.

💫 After interval, Bad Boy Cameo returns with a solo that’s equal parts pirate swagger and big dreams in High Hopes.

💔 Walls

Dustin le Rugrat brings the feels. If these walls could talk, they’d whisper stories of heartbreak, hope, and the longing we carry in relationships.

🎤 Is It A Crime?

A bunch of best men surprise their high school bestie at his wedding with a tone-deaf song choice—is it a crime to want them all? From Jim Junkie, Bear Back, Frank Lee Madir, Loki Lewk & Dommy D.

🎨 Colour My World

A tender, sexy, and paint-splattered tale of passion between an emotionally guarded artist and the radiant muse who cracks him wide open. A stunning duet by Hunk O’ Spunk & Rainbowgan.

After our second interval, we’re back with a bang.

🤠 That’s What I Want

Cowboys dream under the stars about their fantasy hubbie and share their passions around the campfire. Saddle up with Max’d Out, Dildo Baggins, Loki Lewk & Jim Junkie.

💬 Then comes the heart of the show — a moment from Danica Lani, The King Coach, honouring the power of performance, community, and Drag Kings stepping into their full brilliance. Dario di Bello might even make an appearance!

Thunderstruck

A running club of unlikely fellas gets up at the crack of dawn to train hard… then go home. Featuring George Engorge, Good Jobbo, Sage Presence & Maggot Banks.

Every King you see tonight has been part of the Kings of Joy journey — some started this year, others have mentored and choreographed across multiple seasons. Together, we uplift each other. We turn nerves into pride. We build a community that wants you to win.

Drag Kingdom isn’t just a show. It’s a celebration.

One that honours every person who’s dared to step into the unknown, bind their chest, paint on brows, and lip sync their truth.

So come witness royalty.

Doors at 7 pm. Show at 7:30.

About Danica Lani, The King Coach

Hey you 👋

I'm Danica Lani — also known as The King Coach. Since 2020, I've mentored 147 first-time Drag Kings, and I'm here to say: if you're feeling the pull to explore gender through performance, you're not alone — and you're not too late.

Whether you're new to this world or quietly dreaming of stepping into your masculine side onstage, there's space for you here.
