Description

What happens when drag kings don’t just perform masculinity—but reshape it entirely?


In this episode of The Queerest Podcast, host Andraé BVR speaks with Johnny Gentleman—the Latinx, Indigenous, trans-masc force behind Dapper Puss and The Last Gentleman, two platforms transforming Los Angeles’ drag scene.


Through a fusion of artistry and activism, Johnny builds stages for kings, non-binary performers, and BIPOC artists to claim their power and visibility. From Pride main stages to features in Vox and the LA Times, his work blurs the line between entertainment and cultural revolution.


This episode dives into how drag kings challenge gender norms, celebrate queerness, and expand what masculinity can mean.
