From Vaudeville to a swagger dance party, Melbourne has it all! Welcome to our pick of queer events that you can check out this weekend in Melbourne.
Vaudeville Revue at Speakeasy HQ
This show has everything you need- a babooshka, bare bums, brutal one liners and a bombastic drag queen MC. A classic cabaret with a little of everything, the Speakeasy Vaudeville Revue is a rollicking adventure through a kaleidoscope of acts.
They vary in quality (as do the drinks), but each has a distinct charm. As you watch from a red velvet booth these impersonators, circus performers, vocalists and strip artists will melt away your weekend worries.
When? August 26, September 2, 9, 16, 23, 30 at 8pm
Where? Speakeasy HQ, Melbourne CBD
Tickets? From $37, here
Swagger Melbourne: Renaissance
Celebrate Beyoncé’s recent album release with an all night dance party. The DJs are curated by Swagger, an LGBTQIA+ RnB and Hip Hop party group which has been operating in Melbourne since 2010. The party will also feature classics from the likes of Nicki, Rihanna and TLC. Make sure you don’t miss out on the Bottom End’s classic $8 Tiger pints- they go perfectly with Queen B’s whistle tones.
