“Frankie and Loui were great workshop leaders, very supportive, informed, connected, experienced and fun, they made us all feel welcome and part of the Drag King family. There were micro workshops each week including a session on costume, make-up and props and before you know it, you have an act! I would highly reccomend this course if you want to come out with a tangible act and go out there and keep on gigging.”
"College for Kings was an amazing launchpad for my drag career. Not only did I gain invaluable advice, I instantly became part of a wonderful drag community."
“Overall I built confidence to try out new ideas and get up on stage as a drag king. The masterclasses were brilliant. Breaking it down into separate skills for separate weeks really helped build the whole character.”
Our talented students have gone on to compete in Man Up, NADC and get paid gigs both in London and further afield.
Spaces are limited so that everyone gets individual attention and mentoring.
