Two friends, who had never produced a drag show before, decide to meet the drag bans and anti LGBTQ+ laws with joy by attempting to put on the longest drag show ever in Portland, Oregon. And where else would it be held but at the country’s longest-running drag cabaret helmed by Guinness World Record holder Darcelle XV, aka the oldest working drag queen in the world. 

Featuring Darcelle XV, Poison Waters, RuPaul’s Drag Race alum Peppermint, Wildfang CEO Emma Mcilroy, stand up comedian Cameron Esposito, the Trevor Project’s Vaughn Frisby, and more.

Slaying a Drag-a-Thon is a sidecast of the We Can't Print This podcast co-produced and co-written by Eden Dawn (narrator) and Fiona McCann. Episode transcripts and additional content at wecantprintthis.com.

We take on the long list of very strict and very tedious Guinness World Record rules, cast 60 drag performers and 63 emcees for 783 stage changes, kick off an epic spreadsheet battle for songs, discover the meaning of “drag time,” enlist Broadway star Frankie Grande to put the audience to work, devise a list of Hail Mary backup songs, and discover that marathon record attempts are a really, really bad idea.​

Featuring RuPaul’s Drag Race alum Peppermint, Frankie Grande, Guinness adjudicator Michael Empric, many committed and costumed audience members, comedian Fred Armisen, Guinness world record holder Anthony Wallace, Poison Waters, and more.

Genderqueer burlesque high kicks, bare-chested stage slides, shining rosebuds, movie lip syncs: our drag nation brought it all to the show, even as everyone involved in its production became increasingly deranged with exhaustion. From Isaiah Esquire to Buster Open to John Cameron Mitchell, we hear how drag has transformed so many lives—and transported our Drag-a-Thon audience. 

Featuring Poison Waters, BinkYee Bellflower, Isaiah Esquire, Johnny Nuriel, Donatella Nobody, Buster Open, Hedwig and the Angry Inch's John Cameron Mitchell, RuPaul's Drag Race alum LaLa Ri, and more.

We inch towards 48 hours of nonstop drag, leaning heavily on our emcees to fill time in whatever creative way they please, which turns out to include a lot of naughty jokes, deadlifting Wildfang's CEO, some serious chair-based exercises, and an impromptu jig. Mr. Guinness has arrived, and he is very much judging us. But as the minutes count down and everyone becomes grubbier and more unhinged, there's a big surprise in store.

Featuring RuPaul, Cheryl Strayed, Poison Waters, BinKyee Bellflower, Flynn Boyant, Emma Mcilroy, Jessi Duley, Guinness adjudicator Michael Empric, and more.
