The kings of drag -

Much like drag queens, drag king performances typically involve lip synching and dancing. Comedy routines and the like are also pretty commonplace.

Performance and identity -

While many drag kings are women dressed in masculine drag, others may be transgender men or identify as non-binary.

Bonding and binding - Boi Box performers Benjamin Butch (left), Fruit (center), and Joey Bambino captured backstage. Bambino is currently in the process of "binding," which flattens the breasts.

Pavement posing - You would be none the wiser about the binding looking at Joey Bambino here.

Joey Bambino - Instead of using synthetic facial hair, you can see that Bambino opted for "cosmetic shadowing" (hint: look at that five o' clock shadow).

Capturing the crowd - Check out the size of that audience! Joey Bambino is clearly a crowd-pleaser.

Fruit - As evidenced with Fruit, drag kings don't always have to be hyper masculine. Sometimes the act is purely performative.

Zayn Phallic - Zayn Phallic started The KOC (Kings of Color) Initiative to address the lack of diversity (i.e. mostly white performers) in the drag king scene.

The Union Jack - As seen here, light stripping is not unusual at drag king shows.

Draco Draconis - Like with drag queens, it's quite typical for kings to take their names from pop culture figures. For instance, it's likely no coincidence that Draco Draconis resembles a certain 'Harry Potter' character.

Changing gears - Costume changes are the norm at drag king shows. In this case, Draco Draconis decided to go without facial hair.

There is no show without a crowd, and the performers of Boi Box definitely managed to entertain this audience.
