ABOUT THIS EPISODE
The KINGS are coming — but first, Buff & Gio have some DISHING to do! This episode, Buff dishes about her adventures in Palm Springs, performing coast to coast and bringing her outrageous Drag Queen Murder Mystery experiences across the country. Meanwhile, ever since Gio won Mr. Charlotte Pride, his dating life has gone suspiciously silent and DRY. Apparently, the crown didn’t come with a boyfriend!
Buff is also getting ready to pay tribute to Dolly Parton with Sunday’s WE LOVE DOLLY Drag Brunch, followed by National Dolly Parton Day / 9 to 5 Day on September 25 and Charlotte’s Night of 1000 Dollys celebration. Plus, Buff & Gio talk Rocky Horror and the unforgettable legacy of Tim Curry.
AND THEN... THE KINGS TAKE OVER! This week’s featured guest is a BIG one — and bigger is always better, baby! Buff & Gio welcome Damian Pelliccione, Co-Founder and CEO of Revry and Co-Creator of the groundbreaking drag competition series King of Drag — just two days before Season 2 premieres Sunday, September 20.
Damian takes us behind the scenes of King of Drag: how the series came together, memorable moments from Season 1 — even some that never made it to air — plus, they spill the tea on what’s ahead for Season 2.
Buff & Gio ask the questions you want answered, including: Why have drag kings historically received less mainstream visibility than drag queens? They also dive into what it means to be a drag king, representation, masculinity, gender and the future of king drag.
Damian shares the legacy they hope King of Drag creates for the future. Plus, along with the premiere of King of Drag Season 2 this Sunday, September 20, Revry is launching another major premiere: Dustin Lance Black’s Rock Out docuseries.
DRAG KINGS & THINGS is our last new episode before Buff takes a one-month hiatus to prepare for new guests, Halloween fun and special episodes leading into the November midterm elections.
The dishes may be going away for a few weeks — but first, THE KINGS GET THE TABLE!
EAT IT UP, BABY!
