[@MaxxxPleasure]

Do you have any audience horror stories?? Please share the lesson learned! 😂😂😂

Ummmm. Guy came up to the stage where we had balloons during a duet I was having with my Drag Dad. We had balloons on stage, and he starting popping them in my Drag Dad’s FACE. DD turned to him and was like “DUDE.” And he replied “I SUPPORT YOU GUYS!” And my DD yelled: “I DONT CARE WHAT YOU SUPPORT, LEAVE!!” Like. Why dude?? Why did you think it was okay to come on stage and do that. And it wasn’t once, but TWICE. And then the bar kicked him out.

Not from a drag show but from Fright Fest. I was a clown in Fright Fest in the upstate NY Six Flags park and it was my first year doing it. I got to create my own character so I was Lewis, a cannibal clown who liked to do taxidermy and ate the bus driver of the bus they were in, and Lewis also stole some of the kid's toys. I was luckily in the last section of the house (it was outside though) so my clown mom was in the section right next to me since she was the first scare of the house since it's all just a big circle. The whole month I got so many gross comments from middle aged men and women, in their defense I didn't look like a minor but they still shouldn't have been making those comments since it's a family friendly park. There was also a family who was going through the house with their kids, the kids were pushing each other around and my section was very foggy and there's a bunch of rusty metal crates that are hard to see, the parents didn't say anything so I had to tell the kids to stop pushing each other around so they wouldn't get hurt and the parents were like "Yeah, what she said" like you couldn't have done your job and tell your children to keep their hands to themselves before going through? And they went through two different days and the same thing happened both days. A lot of children that go through the houses are ok and just there for fun or are actually scared, but the ones who weren't taught to keep their hands to themselves and respect the space are a nightmare to deal with. Other than that though Fright Fest was very fun

@@azurechannel4428WOW. I’ve seen here on KZbin my fellow kings and queens got handsy, oftentimes inappropriately. I’m a budding king myself (I haven’t started due to an extremely tight budget and my son being really small; he’s 4), and I burn with rage or die of secondhand embarrassment. 😖😖🤪

[@Sage-dc9wz]

something which wasnt mentioned but I personally think people should be aware of- if you know the performer out of drag, do not use their real name, use their drag name. many performers keep their 'real world' and 'drag world' completely separate, and it can make people confused or cross a boundary if you refer to someone with their day-to-day name.

[@azurechannel4428]

MAXXX!!! I OFFICIALLY DID MY FIRST DRAG SHOW!!! I’ve now done two shows and a pageant in just a month of being a Drag King and I came third in the Pageant. 🥰❤️ You helped me while getting ready to become a King, and I wanted to thank you so much!

[@MaxxxPleasure]

Yaaaas congratulations!! 3rd place is great!!

[@EddieHarrison-qx7bb]

Sounds like you are having fun keep up the good work

[@Lauren-mc2tf]

About to go to my second ever drag show and taking my partner for their first time so thank you for this video!

[@MaxxxPleasure]

I hope you had a great time!

[@AVIANAESMERALDASZISTENNO]

Tip well please

[@charlessmith263]

One thing we learned, thanks to the Me Too movement, is to keep one's hands to yourself--never touch a dragster during the actual drag show itself. Caught doing that, and you will be easily be 86ed from the show.

[@charlessmith263]

3:54 - That gray-sweater-wearing interloper and drag show crasher was forcibly pushed off because SHE STOLE THE SHOW! Extremely rude. Especially at an established bar or strip club establishment - you do this - AND YOU WILL BE SENT OFF! KICKED OUT - JUST AS IF YOU WERE CAUGHT COUNTING CARDS IN VEGAS!

[@kitsunefaye1661]

Exactly.

[@vampkings]

is it okay to be at a show in drag!! im going to a pride parade soon and there will be a preformance, but i also want to be in drag for the event itself and i dont wanna steal the show!!

[@MaxxxPleasure]

I think going to a show in drag is totally ok!! Not rude at all IMO

[@LucasJohnson-fs7di]

Loved it!!

[@ichi_san]

cool video, i love your performer name btw...

[@jimmydafood4570]

Hey, I know I’m a little late, but the show I’m going to is at a concert venue. I don’t think I’ll be able to throw any money if I’m in the back, should I still bring some and try to find a way?

[@JustMe-hg5bq]

Im going to a alyssa edwards show for the first time and i dont live in a country with tippin culture i saw vids of her previous show years ago and nobody gave her tips. Would it be rude if im the only one throwing money at the stage while she dances?

[@logan97327]

I just watched my first drag show at pride. I can't control biting my lips is that normal. do drag queens/kings see audience being thirsty over them when on stage. omg im so embarrassed pls send help

[@queerulantin6431]

Don't be embarassed

[@EddieHarrison-qx7bb]

A queen push me. Believe I will push back

[@ThestralBeing]

Maybe don’t intentionally be in their way while they’re performing and you won’t get pushed. They take a lot of time to perfect what they’re doing

[@actionjackson1836]

Drag shows are disgusting & disturbing

[@Bbhehe]

Lmao how did you even get here. Sounds like you secretly like it

And so are you

[@user-dg6iw5qb6p]

Watch Milk, then honestly ask yourself why you you feel this way.

[@actionjackson1836]

@@user-dg6iw5qb6p Because its repulsive, ghastly & uncouth. They make a caricature out of themselves. No one in their right mind would ever appreciate a show like this. That's why only a tiny % of the population (usually the wackos with hormonal imbalance) engage in drag.
