 Macho Man Drag UK announces ‘Unofficial King Pride’

Graham Robson April 23, 2021

Macho Man Drag UK, which produces, curates and hosts live drag king shows in the United KINGdom, will host FREE Unofficial King Pride streaming events on YouTube on May 1 & 2 at 10pm, featuring over 50 drag kings from around the world over two days and raising funds for HIV/sexual health charity Terrence Higgins Trust (THT).

Hosted by one of Birmingham’s premiere drag kings, D.Sasstrus Doe, this free two-day event will give viewers  a chance to tip their favourite kings during their performance. Macho Man Drag UK will also be raising money for the THT through charity auctions and other endeavours (merchandise is available by CLICKING HERE).

The Unofficial King Pride will be available to view at Macho Man Drag UK’s YouTube channel, featuring original material, lip-syncs and more!

Charlie Bagshaw, creator, producer, and host of Unofficial Drag Pride said: “Drag Kings have not yet received the appreciation or cultural renown as our feminine counterparts in the media and Unofficial Drag King Pride was born out of a need to break that glass ceiling.

“Having already showcased over 60 masculine performances within the UK in our previous cabarets, the scope and rewatchability of digital events have widened our audiences, and it is imperative that we take a seat at the table of fabulous genderbending icons so our community is accurately represented.

“Drag Kings, macho men, boylesque, male impersonators, masc performance art, or whatever you want to label us, are just as fierce in Drag, and Unofficial King Pride is the free digital event proving that.”
