This is a show about individual experience and personal identity.

There may be times when folks use identifying words or phrases that don't feel right to you.

That's part of what we're exploring here.

Please listen with an open heart, and as always, I welcome your polite, engaged feedback,

and I encourage you to continue the conversation in your own life and with your own community.

Welcome to Query.

Hey Queros, Kevin here.

This week's episode of the podcast is a chat with the amazing peppermint you might know her

from RuPaul's Drag Race.

She was a delight to talk to, we had a great conversation, and also I'm super excited

to say that like hundreds of people were at my first stand-up class at Dynasty typewriter.

I've got another one this Sunday, and all of them can be purchased individually for 30 bucks.

What I love about this class is that it is directly keeping a venue's doors open.

For live venues, this is a time when it's hard to even figure out what you can offer.

Some restaurants can maybe opt in to take out options, and for venues, it really is these

like digital shows and classes that benefit them, that keep them alive.

I love the live venues where I perform.

Also for comics, a lot of us need to or want to cut out the middleman and don't necessarily

want to work with a venue if we can do it ourselves, streaming from our homes, especially

if this is what the income we rely upon.

I just want to say that it's been wonderful to be able to partner with Dynasty, and a lot

of that is because of you.
