Spikey Van Dykey: The Documentary

Spikey Van Dykey is one bad ass dude. Jamie Kalman is a male impersonator and Drag King and if you have seen any shows in the past you know how amazing they are! From the grinder used to create theatrical sparks for the ladies to the amazing costumes and makeup, this is one show to watch. I remember the first time I saw a performance I was like “Who is this person?”, and instantly hooked and wanted to see more.

The drag shows are so high energy and gets the crowd going with contagious energy, it will turn you on and have you questioning your sexuality! When Jamie was younger she always knew she was gay. Once she got older she considered getting a sex change and found that becoming a drag king was her loop hole around getting it done.

A true artist on stage, but off stage people considered her boring as Jamie. She heads up a group of people called “Spikey and the After Midnites“. The crew is made up of a group of people who bring some of the most artistic and innovative drag shows around.

Jamie makes all of her own costumes and goes all the way with personal added touches. She tapes her chest, adds facial hair, a package, body paint and adds fake nipples. During the performances Spikey Van Dykey usually takes off the top of his costume and goes bare-chested. Check out the documentary created about Spikey Van Dykey life on and off of the stage.
