Why Drag Kingdom is so special...

As a King of Joy, Drag Kingdom is your chance to take the stage and be part of a massive reunion. With over 35 Kings of Joy performing in one unforgettable night, it’s the largest regular Drag King show in the world.

Whether you’re an emerging or established King, this is your moment to reunite with your crew, step into your persona, and perform for a packed house.

But this isn’t just about slaying on stage—it’s about giving back.

10% of proceeds support Block 13 LGBT refugees fleeing Uganda, and the rest is reinvested into Kings of Joy to fund future Kings and keep this magic growing.
