SDKC

The SDKC troupe was started by Kelly Medina (aka Chest Rockwell) 22 years ago at The Flame, Hillcrest in San Diego CA. It began as a weekly contest on Wednesday nights called “Drag it Out.”. Its said Medina founded it to give an opportunity for people to perform as drag kings and that the event went so well, it turned into a monthly performance, beginning with seven members.

​

Over the years, SDKC had different homes: The Flame, Bacchus House, Six Degrees, Bacchus House back to The Flame, Numbers and its current home, Gossip Grill.
