The ever so amazing, Ashevegas Outlaws!
The Ashevegas Outlaws is Asheville's very own drag troupe of wonders. Their shows are not to be missed!
Cuntry Kings
The Cuntry Kings fashion feminist anti-racist drag performance from the raw material of pop culture, Southern queer experience, and national disgrace. The fifteen-member troupe is based in Durham, North Carolina , but has been spotted strutting on stages across the US and Western Europe. Blending an intersectional analysis of oppression with campy Broadway choreography, their cuntry cookin' is sure to satisfy.
I'm sure you noticed, The Cuntry Kings are actually out of Durham, NC but one of the kings, Amy, who I interviewed used to be apart of this group but now lives in Asheville, NC and performs with the Ashvegas Outlaws
