Notes on Masculinity is a bi-monthly drag king centered cabaret held at the California Clipper in Chicago, IL. It’s produced by Po’ Chop and Switch the Boi Wonder.

Below is a gallery of some captures from the shows since it began in April of 2022. Click on any image for a larger view, and continue on below to see some select videos of performances and for the photo project ‘Necessary’.

Below you can check out some select performances from Notes on Masculinity; featuring drag, poetry, music, and more.

And finally, below is a gallery of backstage photos called ‘Necessary’. Because drag kings as a genre isn’t as widely booked, it can be more challenging for kings to get high quality photos for self promotion. So ‘Necessary’ seeks to fill that gap by doing a short portrait session before the show, at intermission, or following the show. The project page can be found here.
