Kiki Queens

Chicago’s only live-singing, charity drag show.

About

Kiki Queens are here to save the day! Or, more, we’re here to help where we can. Our mission is to raise awareness and funds, through performance, for Chicago area nonprofits doing services in the LGBTQ+ community.

We formed in October of 2017 as a group of live-singing Drag Queens and other specialty performers. The seed was planted when one of our Kiki Queens attended a Rubi Girls fundraising show in Dayton, Ohio. For those of you who don’t know the them, they are a fantastic group of men who have been raising money (over $2 million) through drag performance for the last 30 years. Check them out, they are inspiring!

She brought that idea back home to Chicago where luckily she had a group of pretty talented friends, some of whom had performed in drag together previously. She pitched the idea of raising money for local LGBTQ+ nonprofits through live-singing drag performance and it was a no-brainer for all the Queens…and for one, it was, well…she’s pretty, you know.

Kiki Queens is a registered 501(c)(3) and we donate 100% of the ticket sales from our performances to local LGBTQ+ nonprofits. We want to raise funds and inspire people to engage in the LGBTQ+ non-profit community as well. Each show, we will partner with a different Chicagoland LGBTQ+ nonprofit and all proceeds will be donated directly to our nonprofit partner. We are excited to continue this journey with all of you.
