While some drag performances may include adult themes or language (these are either marked as 18+ or held in 18+ venues), many performers also tailor their acts to be appropriate for all ages. We believe that drag is a form of self-expression and art that can be enjoyed by people of all ages, and we strive to provide a safe and welcoming space for everyone to enjoy. At the moment, with many family-friendly drag events being targeted by a small minority of the general public, we have elected to NOT list family-friendly events for safety reasons. If we were to share the events, we may increase unwanted attention on these events, and that's the last thing we want!

Buy Tickets Performers of Pride started out during the COVID-19 lockdowns in Naarm/Melbourne, a small group of drag performers turned to creating videos online to keep in touch with their audience. They were feeling pretty isolated, just like many of us, and found a way to express themselves and feel connected even when their audience was just a few friends at first. (Most of the videos created during lockdowns are lost now, but you can still find a couple of them at our Youtube page) As things began to open back up, Performers of Pride really came into its own. They shifted from just making videos to organizing live drag events around the city. It's all about creating safe, inclusive spaces where everyone in the queer community can come together, share their art, and celebrate who they are. Now, they're a growing name in the Melbourne drag scene, continuing to expand. They put on events that not only showcase the incredible talents of local queer performers but also make sure everyone who attends feels welcome. They believe drag is more than just entertainment; it’s a transformative art form that builds connections and supports people. Performers of Pride is all about fostering a community where everyone can feel safe to express themselves and celebrate their individuality. It's about lifting each other up and amplifying the voices that sometimes go unheard, ensuring that diversity and empowerment are always part of the conversation.
