The 2026 Victorian State Election as told by Drag Kings

Calling all politically curious, drag enthusiasts, and anyone who needs a good laugh after another year of headlines — this one’s for you. Step into the glittery, satirical spectacle of Victorian politics, reimagined through the lens of drag kings. Expect campy chaos, cheeky impersonations, and a healthy dose of absurdity as our performers turn parliamentary procedures into performance art.

This isn’t your average election night feed. No dry debates or policy wonkery here — just bold, brash, and brilliantly over-the-top characters taking on the parties, the scandals, and the soundbites that got us here. Whether you’re passionate about policy or just want to laugh at the state of things, you’re guaranteed a night that’s equal parts entertainment and escapism.

Grab a cocktail, settle in, and let the kings hold court — no polling booths, no campaign slogans, just pure, unfiltered fun. If you’ve ever rolled your eyes at a debate or sighed at a press release, this show is the cathartic release you didn’t know you needed.

Hosted at the iconic Pride of our Footscray, the vibe is warm, welcoming, and wonderfully queer. You don’t need to know your MPs from your ministers to enjoy it — just bring your sense of humour and your appetite for mischief.

Whether you’re new to drag or a seasoned fan, this evening promises performances that respect the art form while poking gentle, glitter-dusted fun at the system. Think of it as civic engagement with a sequin twist — educational? Maybe. Entertaining? Absolutely.

And yes, there might be a few surprise cameos from fictional politicians you’ll swear you’ve seen on the news...
