F.A.Q
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is a drag king?
A drag king is a performance artist who dresses in exaggerated masculine clothes, makeup, and padding to play with or mock traditional ideas of manhood/masculinity. Most drag kings are women or non-binary people, but anyone of any gender can be a drag king.
Why book a drag king over a drag queen?
We bring the other side of the coin to a display of gender, boy band charm and all while also keeping your boyfriend happy because he's gonna feel like he's hanging out with his mates. While Drag queens are absolute royalty and we hold the door open for them... we don't leave a trail of glitter and feathers for you to clean up the next morning. Working smarter not harder.
Why are you called the Back Door Boyz?
Originally formed to perform a Backstreet Boys medley, but things are not always as they seem. Whether it's leaning into the tradie world, building maintenance, or just using the back entrance - trades people use the service, maintenance, or back door... either way, we are here for it.
Are your shows and events safe spaces?
We always strive to ensure our audience feels safe at our events, and the venues we choose feel safe & inclusive. We have a zero tolerance for bad behaviour and always seek resolution to have our community feeling like they are in a sanctuary.
Are all your events LGBTIQA+ only?
No, we are inclusive of everyone. We believe people should have the right to be who they are beyond their sexual orientation and gender. What we expect is respect for everyone in the room. No language or tone should have anyone at our events feeling unloved, unsafe, or excluded... that's the fastest way to get yourself shown the door. Basically, if you're a dickhead, we'll kick you out. So if you wouldn't say it to your mum, don't say it.
Can I book The Back Door Boyz for a private event, festival, or workshop?
10000% yes - we love sharing the love! Whether you need MCs for an event, a live performance, a custom routine, or a workshop, we bring the energy. Get in touch with us through our contact page or drop us a message to discuss dates and details.
