We believe in inclusivity not exclusivity.” In essence, the local drag queen scene is a kaleidoscope of colour, creativity, and courage. It’s a place where boundaries are blurred, and stereotypes are shattered, allowing performers and audiences alike to embrace their true selves without fear or judgment. As we bask in the dazzling spectacle of each drag performance, we’re reminded of the transformative power of self-expression and the beauty of embracing our differences.

pop music to an excited crowd.”
