PERFORMER ANNOUNCEMENT

We are thrilled to welcome the one, the only, Benedick the Bastard to our Snikt! lineup. 👑⚔️Benedick is a drag king, Renaissance Man, and master of niche who constantly dazzles audiences with his charm, wit, and sheer audacity. Self-described as the “Cheesecake Factory of drag,” his performance style celebrates the tropes of masculinity in history and media—with influences ranging from Shakespeare and Elizabethan England to the wild world of 2010s Tumblr. 🎭✨

A nominee for Best Drag King at the 2026 Glam Awards, Benedick has performed and produced alongside some of nightlife and TV’s favorite drag entertainers in NYC and beyond. Don't miss out on this incredible night! Grab your tickets now and get ready to experience the spectacle! 🎟️💥
