Introducing @deejnutzburlydrag

THE KING IS HERE!

This award-winning Drag King and Burlesque Babe is taking names and kicking ass! Deej Nutz has won Drag King of the Year 2020, Plus Size Drag King of the Year 2022 and Best Plus Size Nerdlesque 2022!

A key feature of their performance style is using their cane and other mobility devices. They were diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in May 2019 and decided to do what was necessary to be able to show up fully as themself and still be able to put on a great show! No disability or neurodivergence (they have ADHD and autism) is stopping them from taking names, kicking ass, and encouraging performers and audience members to show up as their authentic selves!

This punny, genderflexing babe wants to shatter that strict box of the binary and show you that sexiness defies gender!

They’re here to melt the binary. FUCK YOUR GENDER ROLES!

Come see Deej Nutz at Intersect: A Pride Arts Festival on Saturday, June 6th! Performances start at 2pm!

SO excited to start announcing performers you'll see at Intersect: A Pride Arts Festival on Saturday June 6th!

@litesparkz

Performer bio:

Punk scene’s youngest menace—and already causing problems.

Lite doesn’t warm up the crowd—they provoke it. Serving brat-punk energy and go-go grindhouse realness. Equal parts tease and threat, they blur the line between performance and dare.

You’ve been warned. Stick around, or miss the mess.

Come see Lite at Intersect. We'll drop the schedule a little closer to the festival.
