Be it arriving international talent or getting to know your community better, here’s just some of the events you can check out in Sydney throughout the weekend.
Bianca Del Rio Returns To Sydney
Hot off of making history as the first drag queen to headline Wembley Stadium in 2019, Bianca del Rio is back on Australian shores with her style of rude, crude humour in Unsanitized, her first comedy tour of the post-lockdown era.
Hosted at the State Theatre over two days, the Drag Race season 6 winner is sure to offend and self-deprecate in a way only she knows how. While Premium and VIP tickets are sold out, great seats are still available for both days.
When: Friday 2nd September and Saturday 3rd September, 8-9:30pm
Where: State Theatre, 47-51 Market St, Sydney
Tickets: $110 for A Reserve
Last Weekend Of The Imperial’s Latest Drag’n’Dine Show
It’s your last chance to catch the latest show at The Imperial Erskineville’s Priscillas starring Sia Tequila, Jax Hyde and Ivy Leaguee – just to name some of the cast members.
Called ‘The Best Little Whore House in the Inner West’, it’s been hailed as one of the best drag shows to ever grace Erskineville. Pairing well with award-winning food and delicious drinks, you can catch the last of this show on the 2nd and 3rd of September.
When: Friday 2nd September and Saturday 3rd September, 6pm and 8:30pm
Where: The Imperial Erskineville, 35 Erskineville Rd, Erskineville
Tickets: $10 booking fee
Special Grease Sing-A-Long At The Hayden Orpheum
It’s no secret that the late, great Olivia Newton-John was an icon and great ally to the LGBTQIA+ community, and Cremorne’s gorgeous Hayden Orpheum Picture Palace is hosting a special Sing-A-Long screening of her breakout film Grease to commemorate her.
With a portion of proceeds going towards the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness & Research Centre, it’s a great excuse to watch and sing with the film whether it’s your first or fiftieth time.
When: Friday September 2nd
Where: Hayden Orpheum Picture Palace, 380 Military Rd, Cremorne
Tickets: $20 adult & concession
