Daylesford - Sunday 11 March -
The Long Weekend Destination

Yes, that's right, we're off to Daylesford on the long weekend to join in the "Chillout you have when you don't have Chillout". After ten years, the famous 'Chillout Festival' has paused, but if you're out for a great time this Labour Day Weekend then Daylesford is a beautiful destination. About an hour from Melbourne, fantastic restaurants along the main street, and lots to do, including a Sunday Market (look for the OUT Video stall) and of course the 'Sunday Night at the Palais'.

We're bringing the Sound of Music Drag Show to the Palais at Hepburn Springs (about 2k from the centre of Daylesford, on the main road). There is a dinner and show option, with excellent food, or just visit for a great night out, the show, and music from our Award Winning GuyDJ. The Palais is an old theatre and dripping with atmosphere. We hope to see you there.

Melbourne International Comedy Festival
5 -15 April

It's a first for us and we think its a first for Melbourne. A drag show season for the world famous Melbourne Comedy Festival. The Sound of Music Drag Show is showing for ten shows at the Bosco Theatre in Federation Square from Thursday 5 - Sunday 15 April. (sorry no Monday night)

The Bosco Theatre is one of two antique theatre tents especially imported for the Festival. These are similar in style to the famous 'Spiegletent', and a magical atmosphere for festival goers. The Bosco was built in 1909 and it travels all around the world for Festivals and events (its coming here from the Adelaide Festival. It has played host to musicians, cabaret artists, and comedians and now a Melbourne Drag Show will add its name to its list of performers over the last 97 years.

This is a unique event and a great honour for us. We hope that we'll see old friends (and new) sharing it with us. We've also been approached to participate in the Edinburgh Comedy Festival in Scotland in August and we'll have more news of that coming up soon.

The Sixties Show on Fridays at Templebar

For a Friday Night of entertainment, good food and fun, this can't be beat. No cover charge, fabulous a la carte menu, and beer on tap, and almost the entire Gold Sixties playlist. If you think you've seen 'Dreamgirls' then get ready for the larger than life version on stage with Jessica James, Kris Del Vase, Jillette Jones and Jackie Stevens.

Templebar has built its reputation on excellent food, excellent service and, of course, 'the entertainment'. A Rainbow Award for Best New Venue confirmed their reputation and 'The Sixties Show' is one not to be missed. Of course Spag 'n' Drag on Wednesday is there if you need a midweek break from the ho-hum, so check it out. (they also have a first for Melbourne coming up in April - stay tuned).

Grease The Drag Show
at PINK on Saturdays

Well we thought Sound of Music was popular but Grease just takes the cake, crumbs and all!. We've been filled to standing room for weeks and the table bookings phone has been ringing non-stop. If you want to see the biggest show we've ever done then Saturday at PINK is the date to make. You'll never be able to look at Sandy's Lycra suit every again, or John Travolta's cool for that matter.

From Summer Nights, to Beauty School,'The Car' and the Dance Off at the Gym, its all there and more. Standing room gives you a good view of the stage if tables are booked, or plan a party night with friends and book a table online.
