Pretty Rik E

The world is burning down around us but I was able to get a little joy yesterday! I spent yesterday afternoon recording some interview footage for a documentary about drag! (More on this later…)

HUGE thank you to and the team who put this all together.

SUPER shoutout to Kelly at the amazing Her Diner () who allowed us to use their space for the our interview!

always makes me feel so handsome 😊

WELCOME TO DRAG!
Kick off 2026 by stepping into your MASC era at Pretty Boi Drag’s , a virtual beginner-friendly workshop on Sunday, February 8, 2026. During the 3-hour virtual course, you’ll be led on drag king fundamentals by Pretty Rik E, a 12-year veteran performer and co-founder/producer of Pretty Boi Drag.

+ Q***r, trans, nonbinary, and gender-expansive folk interested in exploring masculinity through drag

+ Performers from other disciplines ( burlesque, variety, sideshow, dancers) who want to experiment with drag

+ Anyone trying something new and creative in the New Year

WHAT TO EXPECT
+ We will be covering the following topics during the workshop:
+ What is a Drag King?
+ Creating a Persona
+ Performing in Masculinity
+ Drag King Supplies
+ Act Development
+ LIVE Q+A
