Upcoming Events Sold Out Buffy: Once More With Feeling Tribute Show Sun 27 Sept Pride of our Footscray Nightclub & Bar 25th anniversary of the episode, 5th anniversary of our show! Details The Lanes - Arcane Tribute Show Sat 07 Nov Pride of our Footscray Nightclub & Bar A cabaret show celebrating the 5 year anniversary of Arcane Buy Tickets Performers of Pride began during the COVID-19 lockdowns in Naarm/Melbourne, when a small group of drag performers turned to creating videos online as a way to stay creative, connected and in touch with their audience. What started as a handful of performers making content for a few friends has since grown into something much bigger. As Melbourne reopened, Performers of Pride moved from online performances to live events, creating spaces where queer performers and audiences could come together to celebrate drag, creativity and community. Since then, we have produced a growing range of shows, from pop culture tributes and themed cabarets to comedy, alternative drag and immersive performance events. Our annual shadow cast of Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Once More With Feeling has become one of our longest-running traditions, reaching its fifth year in 2026. Alongside established favourites, we continue to experiment with new concepts and ways of presenting drag, including shows such as Mushroom's Dungeon Crawl and Fangz. Accessibility has also become an important part of what we do. In 2026 we launched Dragcessible, a sensory-friendly drag show designed to make live drag more accessible to people who may find traditional performance environments overwhelming. With audience-controlled headphones, a quiet space, fidgets and free entry for carers, it reflects our belief that inclusion should be built into events rather than treated as an afterthought. At the heart of Performers of Pride is a commitment to supporting local queer artists and creating welcoming spaces for our community. Our events showcase performers with different styles, identities and levels of experience, while giving audiences the opportunity to discover just how varied drag can be. We believe drag is more than entertainment. It can tell stories, challenge expectations, create connection and give people space to express parts of themselves that aren't always welcomed elsewhere. Performers of Pride continues to grow, experiment and evolve, but the goal remains the same: create great queer performance, support our artists, and make spaces where people can show up as themselves.
