About the Artists

Naaz: Emperor Naaz is a Mumbai-Based Drag King, performer, and artist whose work fuses movement, storytelling, and queer embodiment. As a proud member of the Haus of Kohenur and drag child of Rani Kohenur, Naaz transforms the stage into a space where masculinity is fluid, performance is ritual, and art becomes liberation. With a presence that is equal parts regal and rebellious, Emperor Naaz celebrates Indian heritage and roots, queer identity, and the transformative power of drag for audiences worldwide.

Bad Shah: Someone is here to bring the heat, and he’s got all the spice of Mumbai wrapped in his bold, queer, and fabulous persona. As the first Bollywood Drag King of Canada, Badshah infuses his performances with a unique blend of high-energy Bollywood choreography. Whether it's through his show-stopping performances or his bold expression of queerness, He captivates and electrifies audiences every time he hits the stage. , he continues to amplify the voices of marginalised communities while delivering unforgettable performances.
