Our Kings & Queens
Destiny Stitz
Hey friends! I’m Destiny Stitz (She/They)
Owner of Helluva House!
I’m pretty new to the drag scene. I’ve been performing for a year! I’ve hosted a few of my own shows and I’m incredibly grateful to be in a position to do so. I find it to be so much fun to give anyone and everyone a platform to express themselves!
I’ve always loved performing, putting on little concerts as a kid for my family and friends. Singing and acting were always my go to, until I found drag.
I love drag and performing in general because I get to be someone else, I get to portray a character and get creative! Being creative has always been something I love whether it be acting, singing, drawing, painting or colouring!
There are no rules in drag in my opinion and that’s what I love about it. To have the creative freedom to be who you want to be and express yourself the way you want has always been admirable to me.

The Dapper Homosexual
What’s good, fam?! I am a Cobourg-born drag king who has been interested in doing drag since I saw my first episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race back in 2017. I didn’t actually start experimenting with mascara-beards until 2022, after seeing the stunning queen PepperMache perform in Peterborough.
My Drag style heavily influences my love for older music and the distinguished style of the era surrounding that music. My title comes from Beatles manager Brian Epstien, a queer icon from the 60s, who is also a huge inspiration to my style and just to me as a person.
Since I was very young, I always enjoyed dressing up and putting on a show whenever I could. As a teenager, I fell in love with cosplay and roleplaying, finding myself through playing other characters and people, which helped immensely with my struggle with anxiety and self-image. Drag for me is no different. As an adult, it brings me so much joy to combine all the happiness I find in my hobbies into every picture and performance.
Drag allows me to be my true, authentic self. To me, it is an expression of freedom, equality, creativity, and forgetting about the stresses of life. It’s about coming together and having fun with the people you love.

I am a drag king who started exploring drag in 2021 after seeing a video of the stunning Earl Grey preforming at Wasteland Weekend 2019 and feeling overcome with emotions to know that drag kings were something that exists.
I always knew about the queens and loved their shows, but didn’t realize that drag was a space for more than just one definite idea of drag.
As a self identified trans man I was more than enthusiastic to start delving into the lesser known corners of drag and learn all the tips, tricks, and techniques that the drag king community had to offer in order to help combat my gender dysphoria.
What I ended up finding is that the whole concept of drag really help aid in my general anxiety towards gender and “passing”.
Drag, to me is both an exploration, and much needed challenge of society’s perceived ideas of gendered fashion.
It’s, in a way, a celebration of the weird, of the different, of the new and wonderful.

Ryder Knightly
Ryder Knightly (He/Him)
Originating in Barrie, Ontario we bring you the amazing king known as Ryder Knightly! Once a little boy going clubbing, Ryder has turned himself into a show stopping Drag King, with enough country charm to sweeten your tea.
From a small town to big cities, Ryder has put the effort and work into creating his drag persona. Short, quick on his feet and always ready to keep the show going, he never misses a beat when it comes to his favorite genre; country! He throws on his cowboy hat and watch him rock the night away to those upbeat and catchy tunes.
Country not your type? Don't you fret, Ryder can make a great show out of any music, as long as the volumes up loud and lights are on, watch him perform his heart out to every track like he was in his own sold out stadium show.

Rizzo Royal
Rizzo Royal (They/Them)
I’m new to the drag scene, performing my first show just here in 2024! I’ve been interested in drag for a few years now, but unsure where and how to start.
Growing up as a competitive dancer, drag has brought back my sense of performing! I enjoy putting on shows by walking, talking, and dancing around the crowd and getting everyone into it!
It allows me to explore the depths and heights of my identity as nonbinary, going extremely feminine or masculine or even going in between and eventually doing characters!
Drag, to me, is having fun, putting on a show and exploring and expressing every part of my identity.
Picture to come, I'm going to do the masc and fem thing I told you about, hopefully this weekend
