Kick off PRIDE on Thursday, June 4th with the ONLY All Drag King show in Toronto. DRAG, DJS and GOGO! Come dance with hot qu**rs!

Kings of Kensington presents: Our First Dance. A Q***r Club Night brought to you by the ONLY regularly running Drag King show in Toronto, taking over the market to bring you slick beats, hot go-go, and (of course) drag king excellence.

They have your Pride plans covered:
Lose yourself on the dance floor to a selection of garage beats/y2k edits/diva house classics, chat up that stranger in the smoking section, and throw some money at the ALL TRANS cast of drag and gogo dancers as they cast a spell on you!

Kick off pride the right way - with a night you’ll be telling all your friends who flaked “you just had to be there…”😏🤭
