Drag queens aren't the only funny ones. Not by a looongshot. Welcome to the world of Drag Kings!! These participants of Deanna Fleysher's world-renowned Drag King Comedy workshop compete for YOU - Live at the #1 Legion - One time only, all competing to win the ultimate title of Mr. Big Cow-Town and gain the envy of all of their less-macho friends. This is a ridiculous clown&cock filled evening of local Calgarian performers, battling each other over a series of challenges that will require all their blood/guts/other fluids.

Expect mansplaining, lip-syncing, dick measuring, local celebrity judges, hip thrusts and all the manly parody you can stuff into your pants.

All hosted by the one and only Vincent Prix !!!
