Since making his drag king debut in 2014, Cyril Cinder has performed on stages across the world, from Tokyo, Japan, to the inaugural drag brunch at the Calgary Stampede, alongside international top drag talent. He also holds multiple titles from drag pageants and competitions, and is frequently featured as a judge for drag competitions across Canada.
When he’s not doing drag, Cyril Cinder is a registered psychotherapist and works extensively with the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. He calls from his life experience and education to advocate for queer rights, mental health, disabled rights, and other social justice causes. Cyril is available for workshops and speaking engagements on a variety of topics, including drag, mental health, and activism.
It has been Cyril’s immense privilege to be the host of the Capital Pride Pageant for the past several years and be a part of history-making moments for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community in Ottawa.
