When we think ‘drag king’ we always think of Murray Hill, who is the ‘Daddy’ of them all, and so we are excited to hear of his latest venture. He is about to host INTERNATIONAL HOUSE OF DRAG KINGS (IHOD), a monthly drag brunch in NY devoted solely to drag kings. Hill, not known for being seen in the day (!) will be in charge of a no-holds-barred show packed with chest-hair-raising, hilarious, gender-defying performances. All that with eggs, bacon, and booze.
Murray told QUEERGURU that the lineup for the inaugural INTERNATIONAL HOUSE OF DRAG KINGS on Sunday, April 19, is Brooklyn Nightlife Award-winning Drag King of the Year Maxxx Pleasure, current reigning Mr. Bushwig and former Glam Awards Best Drag King ‘22 Myster E Mel Kiki, Show Ponii and 2021 Entertainer of the Year at the Silver Tusk Burlesque Awards Uncle Freak with DJ Half ‘N Half.
| Doors open at 12:30 pm with performances beginning at 1 pm at The Cutting Room (44 E. 32nd Street, New York, NY 10016). IHOD tickets are $20 for general admission or $35 for VIP tickets, which include reserved front tables and a meet-and-greet with the kings. Please note, there is a $25 food/drink minimum, with a full brunch menu available. There is also a boozy brunch option for bottomless Mimosas, Prosecco, Bloody Marys, and Margaritas for $29; you must order an entrée to get the bottomless option. |
