One of the icons of the Washington DC drag houses of the 80’s, Charles Comedy, also known as Kip Turner Brice, recounts details of life in the drag community. Comedy uniquely did most of his performances as a man, and because of his time in and out of the different houses he was able to provide firsthand knowledge on many different subcommunities in the city. Focussed on performances and the social aspects of queer life in DC, Comedy offers a fresh perspective on LGBTQ+ idenity in the city aside from the political fight of the time.
