Dancer. Actor. Drag Performer. Icon. The one and only drag sensation Tynomi Banks and Canada’s Drag Race alum is headlining a new Ontario-wide theatre concert series, SOLID GOLD: An Evening with Drag Superstar Tynomi Banks that will be sure to keep audiences electrified during the cold winter months. Known for her high-energy shows with choreography, backup dancers and stunning costumes, tickets for the SOLID GOLD Tour are on sale now.

Drag Superstar Tynomi Banks brings us the ultimate Black superstar realness show. She’s Big, She’s Black, She’s Beautiful, and Banks owns the stage.  Join Tynomi for a night of impersonations of some of your favourite Black performers.  This production will have you dancing in your seats from Donna Summer to Tina Turner to Whitney and so much more. Along with her dancers, expect the most from this show full of choreography, singing, comedy and celebrating these beautiful legends.

Join Black-identifying Kingston community members prior to this event for a reception. Stay for a brief talkback following the performance with Tynomi Banks hosted by Jermaine Marshall. Jermaine Marshall (he/they) has a Master of Arts in Social Justice and Equity Studies and works as an Inclusion and Anti-Racism Advisor in the ¹û½´ÊÓƵ Human Rights & Equity Office. Performing under the name J-Marsh, Jermaine is an independent vocalist and poet whose art weaves together love for spoken word poetry and free-form dancing, often investigating his identity as a proud queer Jamaican within the polarizing atmosphere of his home country.
