King Victoria, Melbourne’s popular drag king club ran weekly for 11 years 2000–2011
More than 500 distinct cabaret events were produced: 6 acts + MC, then DJ, every Friday.
King Victoria gave a platform to thousands of lesbian, trans, non-binary, Queer artists – with performers coming from across the globe to perform.
It is still officially the longest running weekly drag king club in the world!!!

Performing/putting on King Vic events, is our way of showing love to our queer family - and ourselves.
When drag kings do masculinity there's (weirdly?) often more energy, more brash sexiness, more instant ownership of space.
Drag Kings can revel in their masculinity, or they can parody th fuk out of it.
We don't get th gross privileges of cis man patriarchy - but we do Love to play with it xx

In 2023 King Victoria drag kings exhibited with Behind The Zip and performed live with Drag King Legends, Imperial Hotel, Sydney Mardi Gras/World Pride 2023.
The flame got reignited.
So, Bumpy Favell, original owner/producer and Mandy Siegel, long-term star performer, decided to re-establish King Victoria with a touring drag king comedy cabaret / theatre production + workshops.
Watch out for hot king action.
