Celebrating 50 years in drag, Bruce—aka Melinda Ryder—shares their extraordinary journey through love, community, and resilience in a candid, inspiring conversation. Discover how a small-town boy’s early encounters with drag and acceptance laid the foundation for a lifelong legacy—and how their relationship has shaped Kansas City’s drag scene for decades. You’ll learn about Bruce’s journey from discovering drag in smoky clubs in the 70s, navigating coming out and family reactions, to becoming an icon and a pillar of LGBTQ+ pride. Kirk reflects on the challenges of supporting a partner through cancer, the evolution of drag from glamorous to mainstream, and how their shared passion continues to uplift their community. As you may have noticed Bruce is currently dealing with some unfortunate medical issues which has left them off the stage for quite some time. Unfortunately these issues have yet again landed Bruce back in the hospital. Bruce is receiving excellent care and “Operation Perform Again” is in full swing as Bruce and his doctors work to achieve a healthy recovery soon.
