Step behind the curtain with the Fuccbois — the drag king boy‑band musical turning toxic masculinity into comedy gold. Creator Bridie Connell and the cast share how satire, gender play and sheer chaos shaped this hit show, fresh from its Edinburgh and London tour and heading to Sydney.

Award‑winning queer artist Emmanuelle Mattana takes us inside the world of Trophy Boys, drag king culture, and the performance of masculinity. From Melbourne’s vibrant drag scene to their move to London, Mattana shares insights into creativity, gender, and the future of queer theatre.

Drag kings are reshaping the way we understand masculinity — not by imitating men, but by exposing how constructed masculinity really is. Through swagger, satire, taped chests and bold performance, kings claim power, confidence and desire on their own terms. This piece dives into the theory, the rebellion and the magic behind Australia’s drag king revolution.

A fast, feminist dive into the hidden history of drag kings — from ancient theatre and early male impersonators to Stonewall, the 1990s king boom, and today’s post‑pandemic resurgence. Long live the drag king.
