The Kings of Joy Live Podcast Show

Sunday 22 June 2025

3:00–5:00 pm

*NEW LOCATION: The Substation, Qtopia, 301 Forbes St, Darlinghurst

Step into the heart of queer joy and transformation with a live audience recording of The Kings of Joy Live Podcast Show.

Presented by Kings of Joy as part of Qtopia’s Pride Season, this special event brings the community together for an afternoon of unscripted, heartfelt, and powerfully relatable conversations with Drag Kings from the Kings of Joy community.

Kings of Joy return to Qtopia fresh from their sold-out premier Mardi Gras season of They Will Be Kings, an acclaimed collaboration with Werewolf Productions. Now, they’re back—live and unscripted—to share more of the magic behind the movement.

Hosted by Danica Lani – The King Coach, the show offers a glimpse into the transformative experience of Drag Kinging: from stepping into a King persona for the first time to navigating gender journeys, building confidence, and discovering the joy of being 100% at home in your own skin.

This is more than a podcast recording—it’s a celebration of queer creativity, chosen family, and the power of authentic self-expression. Whether you’re King curious, on your own identity journey, or simply love hearing real stories from incredible humans, this show is for you.

🎙️ What to expect:

• Live recording of multiple podcast episodes

• Rotating panel-style conversations with Kings of Joy

• A welcoming atmosphere and a chance to connect with community
