King Molasses is a drag king and performing artist based in Washington D.C.

A DMV Native, Molasses debuted in 2018 and has since become a fixture in the nation’s capital performing art scene. Their drag comes from a foundation of mindfulness, black surrealism, and heritage-based movements that dare to create images of self-liberation.

Their performance work has been commissioned for the John F. Kennedy Center of the Performing Arts, the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery, 9:30 Club, the Baltimore Museum of Art, and Club Cumming in NYC. They’re a headlining feature at the queer events held all over the DMV.
