A Toronto drag show: From conception to stage

Xtra follows Kevin Levesque (aka Miss Conception) as he preps for a Sunday night show at Woody's

What goes into making a weekly drag show?

To answer that, Xtra caught up with Kevin Levesque (better known as Toronto drag star Miss Conception) for a peek at how he prepares for a performance.

Miss C has been performing nearly a decade — her 10th anniversary show is coming up on May 1.


Catch Miss C’s Stage to Screen show every Sunday at Woody’s, from 6-8pm.
