Comedy cabaret troupe All The Kings Men takes the stage at Pride after eight years of wowing audiences.

The all-female comedy cabaret troupe All The Kings Men -- that has since toured internationally and won numerous awards -- began by accident eight years ago. "It sort of happened by mistake," said Leighsa Burgin, a troupe member and co-founder. After a series of impromptu shows at drag king slams, a group of performers were approached by a producer and asked to headline an upcoming show. "We were like, 'Oh, are we a group now?'" Burgin remembered. "We came up with [the name] 'All The Kings Men,' and our first performance was in April of 2002. It started out much different than it is now. We never really expected it to turn into this company that's been touring the United States and that's been over to London and Canada."
