Drag Me to the Museum
Saturday, June 27th
In celebration of Gay Pride Month, join us at the Clarke Historical Museum for an evening of fantabulous and glamorous drag performances by five local drag queens, kings, and monsters!
Learn about Humboldt’s Queer history through mini-exhibits, including: a pop-up display in the Emmerson/Victorian Room that will tell the story of drag in the Victorian Era by looking at three drag queens and three drag kings from that time; and a special exhibit on Two-Spirits on loan from the Wiyot Cultural Center. There will also be living histories, photos, and costumes on display from our performers.
There will be complimentary snacks and a no-host bar featuring wine (red, white, and sparkling) and plenty of Pink Pony Punch, along with non-alcoholic options.
Extra special thanks to Queer Humboldt and Olivia Gambino for their support!

Komboujia
Sassy, classy, and a little gassy, Komboujia is a local drag artist, performer, and educator. They’re chin-deep in local projects such as singing lead in the band Vegan Slaughterhouse, producing the all-ages drag program Cistem Failure at OuterSpace Arcata, and appearing in occasional theater productions. They’d like to remind you that this is one of the only times you can legally throw things at a trans person, so tip handsomely!

Kill Pop
Kill Pop is all about versatility in drag, with a strong foundation in alternative styles. Their journey started in the goth and punk communities, where costumes and makeup became the building blocks of their art.
"For me, drag has been a way to explore and amplify my different sides and personalities, blending all my favorite hobbies into one bold expression. There’s no greater reward than making people smile, and that’s what keeps me going. Outside of drag, I work in a male-dominated field, so performing as an AFAB queen, whether in hyper-femme looks or monster drag, is where I can fully embrace exaggerated femininity or transform into something entirely new. It’s my way of breaking boundaries and owning the stage.”

Mr. Gino
"My name is Gina Figueroa. I grew up around a lot of toxic men. Before I knew how toxic, I idealized these men. They didn’t have to do much, yet they were taken care of and their behavior always excused or defended. They had swagger and style but also a little slime. I always felt a little uncomfortable around them. When I first put on men’s clothes, painted sideburns and wore a mustache, I felt a different kind of confidence. Mr. Gino became a way for me to take back the power I felt was lost growing up as a woman in my family and in my culture. I had to play the role to understand myself better and to heal. At first Mr. Gino was very crude and was not shy about how much he loved the ladies. His character is a player and when he first made his appearance that was clear. As I continue to heal and evolve, so has Mr. Gino. The misogynistic and sexist jokes he once entered a room with are gone. He has become more aware of how dated and over overplaying the machismo attitude has become. These days instead of just focusing on himself he is more interested in creating community, using drag, humor and fun to bring people together.
Mr. Gino is always having a good time. If he is around, it’s a Party. Buckle up and have fun.
