Hosted by queer comedy royalty Joel Creasey and RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under favourite Kween Kong, this year's Extravaganza promises to be the biggest yet.
Comedians Nina Oyama, Rhys Nicholson and Scout Boxall will be gracing the stage alongside musical performances from Courtney Act, Kira Puru, Mama Alto, Dolly Diamond, Tash York, Tina Del Twist and the hilarious Steven Oliver, all accompanied by the house band under the expert guidance of musical director James Simpson.
One of the feature acts in the Midsumma Extravaganza will be a tribute to the late matriarch of Melbourne drag, Miss Candee who passed away earlier this year after 50 years of performing in Melbourne's queer venues. Twenty-two drag artists will take to the stage to recreate some of Miss Candee's most iconic moments in a medley of her favourite songs. Miss Candee's memorial at the St Kilda Town Hall was attended by 2,000 mourners with thousands more watching from home.
