Genesis: Drag Kings & Things Open Stage with Craven Moorehead

Cafe Gummo711 High St, Thornbury VIC 3071
Pay-as-you-can at the door

Genesis is BACK and ready to turn the mic over to the kings and things!

Grab your boots, stilettos, or whatever you’re rocking this week — Genesis is throwing open the stage for all the drag kings, non-binary glitter goblins, and gender-bending legends. Co-hosted by the one and only Craven Moorehead, this is your low-stakes, high-vibe playground to test drive a new number, polish an old fave, or just belt it out for the pure joy of performance.

Got a track on YouTube? Bring it! Got a half-baked idea? Bring it! Got a glitter bomb and no plan? Bring that too. This is where the future stars of drag king culture are born — no polish required, just passion.

But wait — there’s more! 🎁

  • Free Drag Swap Box (& Makeup!) — yes, free glitter, wigs, and accessories to borrow or snag. No judgment, only sparkle.
  • Hobby horsing — because why not? Saddle up for giggles and grace.
  • Add your contribution to Randy’s Thrustfest Shirt — a wearable art project that’s equal parts chaotic and iconic. Wear it with pride (or defiance).
  • All entry fees go to Black Peoples Union AND our co-host’s NAIDOC Week fundraiser — solidarity, sparkle, and sashay together.

Practical Info: Pay-what-you-can at the door. Wear a mask (because safety is sexy). Be kind. Be loud. Be you.

“Show up and sign up on the day with any track you can find on YouTube, and have a whirl on the stage! Perfect for any king and thing looking to test drive a new idea, get some stage time for a work in progress, or just to have fun in a low stakes environment with the lads and other genders!” — @genesis.drag

Come as you are, leave as a legend. We’ll see you on the stage — or in the swaps.
