The 23rd Annual SF Drag King Contest Celebrates Salty Swaggering Sea Men.

Man the torpedoes, full speed ahead -- this year our theme is Nautical, so think Sailors, Mermen, Seamen, Rear Admirals, Pirates, Submarine Races, Portholes and Poop Decks.

MC's Sister Roma & Fudgie Frottage navigate a tight crew with Special Guest Flare from Toronto, Canada, producer of "A Drag King Extravaganza" and Wang Newton from NYC and WangTV.

Judges: Leigh Crow, April Kidwell, Arty Fishal and Max Manchester.

Starring: Madd Dogg 20/20; Mason Dixon Jars; Dickie Luv; Rebel Kings of Oakland; Jay Mercury and El Sevan, SF Drag Kings 2017 (there was a tie last year) and more!

Most of all, The Drag King Contest would not be complete without the Contestants. We will feature a lipsynch for your life segment in the show.
