Wyndham council will celebrate queer culture with fabulous performances on Saturday, February 12 at Park Lounge in Werribee as part of the Midsumma festival.
Kicking off at 5.30pm in Kelly Park, hosts Tristan Meecham and Bec Reid of All the Queens Men will introduce music, theatre comedy and dance.
Multi-award-winning cabaret company YUMMY will light up the stage with extracts from their feature-length shows incorporating drag, dance, circus and burlesque.
There will be comedy from internationally renowned Zoë Coombs Marr who has frequently appeared in comedy circles as “Dave”, although these days she mostly appears as herself.
In the music category, queer noise-pop duo Cry Club will perform their danceable anthems and duo This Way North will also perform.
Plus, there will be a surprise guest performance from a former Eurovision artist.
