Queer-aoke

Overview

Clear away your coffee table and secure your breakables because things are about to get a little wild in your living room. As part of this year's lockdown-friendly Melbourne Fringe program, the riotous Queer-aoke is returning for a special at-home edition on Thursday, October 7, and Thursday, October 14.

You're invited to don your jazziest threads and join some legendary local performers in a rollicking karaoke party dedicated to music's biggest queer names and anthems. Hosted by the talented Bae Marie (Alex Morris), the evening's fun will be beamed live into your living room via Zoom, celebrating the sparkliest of sounds from icons like Lady Gaga, Elton John and Whitney Houston. Some special guests will also be along for the ride, with Tequila Mockingbird and Max Lawrence dropping by on October 7, and Nefertiti La Negra and Tash York bringing the energy on October 14.

Spend the evening belting out some bangers and you're pretty much guaranteed to blast away any lingering lockdown blues. Tickets start from $10.
