Dr. Androbox is Ottawa’s premier singing, storytelling drag king. Originally of St. John’s, Newfoundland, this king of crinoline and coattails captured the title of Mr. Capital Pride 2022 after three years off-stage due to his ongoing battle with ulcerative colitis. Dr. Androbox is literally a drag king on steroids, and is proudly trans, crip, and neurospicy. Together with his 7-piece band, The Pronouns, he is the only drag king in the world to have released a full album of original music. This comedic crooner will delight you with his powerful voice and fabulous finery, leaving you hungry for more of his catchy melodies and moving stories.
