Jack the Lad

Jack the Lad is the pseudonym of Drag King act Kaz Kansal from Manchester. He appeared in Coronation Street in November 2010 as Tom Crude, a Drag King act at Sophie Webster's sixteenth birthday party.

Dressed in a leather jacket, snapback and bandana, Kaz lip-synchs to a medley of Eminem songs as Jack the Lad (or JTL for short) in her act. JTL started out in 2002 and eventually went on to perform in drag in Australia and Manchester. After winning the Manchester Drag King competition in 2010, JTL and his drag brother (Alex Valentine) went on to perform in their Mardi Gras set in 2011.
