ABOUT MISS CONCEPTION...

In 2012, Miss Conception aka Kevin completed a four month tour, where he launched his first Live Singing show at the Palm Cabaret in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. He continues to perform all over North America, and will return to Mexico for the 2014 season at a brand new venue “Stages”.

Kevin will be featured Monday and Thursday of every week between January and May.

From very humble beginnings in Mississauga, Ontario to entertaining his parents with a living room rendition of “Beauty and the Beast”, Kevin Levesque couldn’t stop moving. Ironically enough, it wasn’t until Kevin was 6 years old that he joined a hockey team and realized sports wasn’t his love. He was meant to be a performer and yearned for the stage.

Years later, Kevin joined the Mississauga Youth Theatre and landed his first role as Bobby Shaftoe in the production “Babes in Toyland”. His entire family came to see it, and Kevin recalls, “I was fabulous!” Kevin went on to study drama at the Cawthra Park School for the Arts.

In grade ten Kevin was presented with an overdose of Shakespeare and was not interested in the tragic bard, Kevin then switched his focus to dance. After high school, he frequently visited Toronto’s gay village where he saw his first drag show at the age of 19.

 After a dare to try drag from a friend, Kevin gave it a shot. His first performance went off without a hitch and Miss Conception was born! To date, Kevin has won countless titles,including the first Zelda’s Drag Idol, Miss Canada Continental, Smirnoff Twisted, Coors Lite Queen of Halloween, Ontario’s Next Top Drag Queen, Miss Gay Universe, Miss Gay Toronto, and Entertainer of the Year. He’s also appeared in “Queer as Folk,” “Degrassi: The Next Generation,” and the first ever contestant in drag on “Wipeout Canada.” (which can be seen on youtube under “beauties vs geeks)
