About Us

Maxx Drag was a competition show dreamt up by two best friends during the COVID-19 pandemic. One a drag king, Clive Maxx, and the other a drag enthusiast, Kevin Menzel. We both craved a competition show that was more inclusive and that featured artists that weren't getting the platform or recognition they deserved.

The first three seasons were completely digital and featured artists from all over the world. The first being done via Instagram live (which was such a pain), before we moved over to Twitch for seasons two and three. Season four, Maxx Drag LIVE: Rookies vs Vets, was the first season done in person. It featured all artists local to the central valley in Northern California. the Rookies being all performers who had never done a season of Maxx Drag, versus veterans that had competed in previous seasons. We've been blessed to be able to continue doing seasons in person thanks to community support and amazing sponsors.

We look forward to continuing the show for many more seasons and we hope to see you there!
