Kolby Jack Davenport
Based in Dallas, TX, Kolby Jack Davenport is a one-of-a-kind performer. Having first begun drag performance nearly three years ago, Davenport has become a local favorite, placing in the top three of this year’s The Queer Off competition.“I like to say that Kolby is a very ‘cheesy’ queen,” says Davenport, “just like the cheese she is named after. Kolby Jack Davenport loves to be the life of the party and have a good time whether it be on stage or off. My drag can be described as stupid, yet polished. No matter how ridiculous I choose to act on stage I always want to make sure that my look is right and that I am sticking true to myself. Humor is a very important part of my persona. A lot of my inspiration comes from people and things that make me laugh because laughing is one of my favorite things to do.”Davenport first discovered drag while watching Rupaul’s Drag Race. From the first moment, she was instantly hooked and developed a passion for transformation, acting, comedy, lip syncing and makeup.“Personality is a major thing that goes into my performances,” Davenport says. “My performances are all about having fun. I always want to make sure the audience is connected and engaged and if that means making a fool of myself along the way, then so be it.”In the short time since Davenport’s drag debut, she has become one of Dallas’ staple queens, however, she believes that no matter the caliber of your acclaim, there is always room for improvement.“Rome wasn’t built in one day, and neither is a good drag performer,” Davenport says, “there is always room to improve, learn new things, and to better your craft.”When she’s not performing, Davenport can often be found cheering on other local queens or sharing laughs among friends, with a Kruto-based cocktail in hand.“What I like about Kruto Vodka is how high quality it is,” Davenport says. “When you think of Kruto you don’t think cheap and hopefully the same applies for when you think about Kolby Jack Davenport.”Check Kolby Jack Davenport out on Instagram!
