Drag kings are mostly female
performance artists who dress in
masculine drag and personify male
gender stereotypes as part of an individual or group routine. They may be
heterosexual,
lesbian,
transgender,
genderqueer, or otherwise part of the
LGBT community. A typical drag show may incorporate dancing, acting,
stand-up comedy and singing, either live or
lip-synching to pre-recorded tracks. Drag kings often perform as exaggeratedly
macho male characters, portray marginalized masculinities such as construction workers, rappers, or they will impersonate male celebrities like
Elvis Presley,
Michael Jackson, and
Tim McGraw.
