Lineup:

The bendy, androgynous Sheik

Sheik the Freak

Meet Sheik the Freak hyper elastic and sleek. Known for their acrobatic abilities, a fashion sense that is erotic and modestly eloquent.

From cake play to drag, burlesque to fan whispering, Sheik’s got the full innovatory for the stage.

Anna Key

Depravity, deviancy and degeneracy – Anna Key is a character moulded by pure queer and feminist chaos, revelling in subjecting her captive audience to her every sociopathic whim and leaving them unsure of whether to laugh or scream. Debut performance of Anna Royals, Deakin University graduate and disaster enthusiast.

Strewth

Strewth is Melbourne’s one & only piss-elegant singing bogan diva, winner of Wiradjuri Drag Pageant 2023, & all around menace to society. Blending drag, cabaret, puppetry, comedy & slide whistle, there’s only one word that can escape your mouth after a show – STREWTH!
