All The Kings Men (ATKM) is the multi-award winning, comedic, gender-bending performance troupe from Boston since April 2002. Performing to standing ovations and sold out houses from Los Angeles to London this unique troupe is three parts Tracey Ullman, a punch of Carol Burnett, and a pint of Jim Carrey playing between 20-50 gender blurring characters per performance. ATKM hold a mocking mirror to the construction of identity through destabilising the popular perception of gender boundaries; they strike at the heart of gender issues with performances as poignant as they are audacious. All The Kings Men seek to create unique and moving experiences that can educate, engage, and entertain your face off!
In their short history, ATKM has been honored to perform on a host of legendary stages including The Stella Adler Theater in Los Angeles, NYC’s historic Stonewall and The New Players Theater in London. They are also a favorite at many institutes of higher learning including Yale University, Smith College and MIT. Pride events include Boston, Rhode Island and the largest pride celebration in North America, Toronto.
In their first year their ever-changing show won Boston Phoenix’s “Best Kept Secret”. Just 2 years later they were named one of ten nationwide winners of Curve Magazine’s “Best Lesbian Theater” award alongside being featured in their magazine. Since then they have been nominated for a host of other awards and recognitions nationwide including “Best Burlesque”, “Best Comedy”, “Best Theatre Company” and “Best Dance Troupe”.
