About Justin Toodeep

Based in Saint John

Justin Toodeep is a hot, beefy and seasoned Drag King that has been entertaining audiences since 2009. New Brunswick's first full time drag entertainer, this bawdy King promises his eclectic mix of unapologetically queer entertainment will have you on the edge of your seat. Influenced by classic films such as the Birdcage and specifically Nathan Lane and Robin Williams this king loves to bring comedy and sass to his performances.

With humble beginnings from Saint John, this king set the standard for drag artist compensation in his home province. He helped to resurrect drag and bring it to bars, pubs and theatres throughout New Brunswick. Justin has also excelled in the Maritime provinces having earned titles in Halifax such as Mx of Pride 2019 and the Red Heel Awards - Entertainer of the Year 2020. Justin is an avid costume maker and has had garments and jewelry displayed in New Brunswick's provincial art gallery the Beaverbrook Art Gallery and has done drag in a variety of Arts Festivals including the Illuminate Arts Festival in Fredericton, NB.

While Justin has a name fit for a 18+ audience he is one of the most popular Drag Storytime entertainers in New Brunswick, moonlighting as his flimsy alter-ego, Justin 2D. The drag storytime program at NB Public Libraries was started in Saint John by Justin and now is a provincially available program at all libraries. Including a set of rules intended to protect drag performers and storytime attendees from harassment.

A well rounded self-made entertainer that excels at comedy, hosting, high-energy dance and public speaking of all kinds, this king is the clear choice for all your entertainment needs.
