Warning: spoilers for King of Drag Season 2 ahead!
The results are in! In an episode packed with performances, the versatile king, clown, dancer, and tattoo artist, Lollygag, has been named the winner of King of Drag Season 2!
Hosted by Cameron Esposito, the show is the first competition series to solely feature the work and performances of drag kings. It has an iconic cast of judges and contestants alike, with the King’s Court composed of legends like Gottmik, Vico Ortiz, Damian Pelliccione, and returning stars Henlo Bullfrog and King Perk. Guest judges including Dustin Lance Black, Yvie Oddly and Ginger Minj were also among the ensemble.
Following the first season’s success, which included two Queerty Award nominations and a total of 33 million minutes watched, Season 2 premiered in late September. It will also be followed by a 22-city national tour, bringing the kings to stages across the United States.
Lollygag, who is rooted in Brooklyn’s drag scene, spoke with Them following their win, noting that they “actually started doing visual art under the persona of Lollygag, and that idea with that was that I was just trying things and experimenting with different forms of art, but in an unserious way.”
Friends and family suggested the name, which, according to Lollygag, made it the obvious choice for his persona. The artist grew up dancing and took a step back to start their work as a tattoo artist, which led to their experience entering the drag community.
“The first time I ever did drag, I was like, ‘This has unlocked something within me, this feels so correct,’” Lollygag said. “This was the first time that I could fully express myself in all of these ways. It just felt right.”
Lollygag, who attended clown school after developing his on-stage persona, not only brought the visuals of clowning to his performance on King of Drag, but also the physical comedy and playfulness that come with the craft. They reminded the audience that “drag king artistry has no single shape,” according to the show’s co-creator Christopher J Rodriguez.
“They brought fearless comedy, real heart, and a completely original point of view to every challenge, and they used the clown tradition to say something sharp and honest about masculinity,” he said.
