Drag & Burlesque Diaries
Drag and Burlesque Diaries pulls back the curtain on the incredible lives and raw experiences of marginalized performance artists.

It's like a candid slumber party with your favorite queer artists! Join us for a unique blend of deep conversation, silly games, and intimate glimpses into their fabulous world, because this is the space where No Performer is Left Backstage.

Episode 5: It Looks Like Love — with Travi Sexton
This week, we sit down with the incomparable Travi Sexton for a conversation about visibility, responsibility, and what it means to show up for your community both onstage and off.
Together, we explore the importance of drag kings and the power of trans masculine performers claiming space, being seen, and having a voice in an art form that has historically overlooked them. Travi shares their journey, their relationship to drag, and how embodying masculinity through performance can be an act of truth, healing, and resistance.
We also have a deeply honest and necessary conversation about the real and lasting impact of drunk driving, and the ways care, accountability, and community responsibility intersect with nightlife and performance culture.
This episode is about love in all its forms—the love we show ourselves, the love we show each other, and the love that keeps us alive.
