Gary Hart February 17, 2016

Brighton’s only drag king competition is back and tougher than ever! It’s time for bois to become men as they battle it out over three heats to make their way to the final on May 12.

The second heat of King of the Fringe to find Brighton’s top drag king is on Friday, March 11 at the Marlborough Theatre, Brighton.

The Kings will get a chance to strut their stuff before the extra special judges decide who deserves a place (and a shot at the £100 prize money) in the grand finale during Brighton Fringe.

Expect bulging biceps, protruding packages, fierce facial hair, all slathered in sass as they try to find the next King of the Fringe!

Contestants confirmed for the second heat include:

♦ Ollie (Forest Fringe co-runner and performance-maker Ira Brand’s alter-ego)

♦ Richard Von Wild (Star of BBC Newsbeat documentary, Drag Kings of the UK)

♦ Rico Del Ray (The latest sensation to hit London, BOiBOX regular)

♦ Apple Tart (Slightly surreal, but ever so real)

They’ll be joined by three judges: Ingo Cando (Wotever World), Valentina (Director, King Doc UK) and Roni Guetta (Traumfrau).

The host for the evening will be former King of the Fringe winner, Sammy Silver.
