Drag queens have long owned the spotlight — from RuPaul’s Drag Race to brunches, bingos, and club nights. But there’s another side of drag that’s just as bold, creative, and culturally vital… and it’s been overlooked for far too long.
This week on The StickyBeak, Monika dives into the world of Drag Kings — performers who’ve been bending gender, challenging norms, and shaping queer culture for over a century. From vaudeville to underground cabaret, punk shows to late-night clubs, kings have always been here, even if mainstream drag hasn’t made space for them.
You’ll hear from three incredible drag kings as they share their journeys, their artistry, and how they’re pushing drag into the future.
This episode celebrates identity, creativity, and the performers redefining what drag looks like today — whether you’re a longtime fan or discovering drag kings for the first time.
