Toronto's ONLY dim sum drag brunch serving gag worthy Asian drag queens, kings, and performers at Sky Dragon Chinese Restaurant

Colorful text logo for 'Drag the Queen' with large yellow stylized letters and smaller purple text on a black background.

Cofounded by Ryan Tran and DJ Sumation, Queens of Dim Sum is a fun unique drag brunch experience in the heart of Chinatown with the goal to increase representation and provide opportunities for Asian LGBTQ+ talent, including drag queens, drag kings, photographers, and graphic designers. The first event was held in May 2022 and happens almost monthly. The events have been very successful and increasingly popular as tickets tend to sell out fast!

Changing up the drag brunch scene again, Drag Phở the Win is our second drag brunch in an exciting format where drag queens go head-to-head in fierce lipsync battles at Dzô Viet Eatery.

Tickets for all upcoming events can be found on Eventbrite
