Owner, Co-Founder, Researcher, PR
Drag King Legend Mo B. Dick is the driving force behind Drag King History. Mo saw the need for historical drag king representation, and in January 2018 teamed up with Ken Vegas so they could use their talents to gather all the pieces of this rich history into one location.The initial inspiration was to represent the unrepresented male impersonators of the past and to educate the drag kings of today. This project has grown to include an expansive collection of courageous performers who have donned men’s attire for theatrical purposes around the world. Cheers to all the pioneers past, present and future!
In 2020, The U.S. Library of Congress requested and was granted permission to archive this website for generations to come. In January 2024, Mo became the sole proprietor of this project.
