Planet of the Kings – Melbourne Fringe

Performed by Melbourne drag kings Rex Spandex and Harden Long, the riotous Planet of the Kings is packed with laughs, love and adventure.

Cabaret meets mockumentary, Spandex and Long are thrown together after meeting at the Major Tom Space Program. As we learn of their epic history over the years and the effects fame can have on us, we also get an insight into their lives via video interviews with their family, friends and very excited fans.

The duo share an incredible chemistry together and take great joy in embracing the silliness of the show. Saying that, there is a warm heart at the centre of the show and it is a surprisingly touching show. This is one gloriously queer, hilarious and glittertastic experience.
