About Drags Aloud

This page is under development. Soon you'll read all about our humble beginnings in laundry baskets and wardrobes around Australia, culminating in a sold-out standing ovation in an official Off-Broadway Theatre in New York. From there the future is unfolding in 2010 in Adelaide, Dublin, Brighton, Bath and more. Come back to read the first chapter - Showbags and how we reshaped the drag scene in Melbourne.

Drags Aloud has an international reputation
for drag excellence.

After many years entertaining Melbourne audiences as 'The Showbags Drag Show', Drag Aloud was formed in 2005 to take drag to the world.

We are the first Australian drag show to travel overseas on engagement since the early 1970's when the famous Carlotta visited London with Simone Troy's Playgirls. 

We hold the record for the longest running drag production show in the history of Melbourne's drag industry.

In 2007 our show, The Sound of Music Drag Show received a Director's Commendation and Prize from the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and a Rainbow Award for Best Drag Show.

At the Edinburgh Fringe Festival we were considered the most successful first year show of 2008 and we received an unprecendented number of positive reviews (including a Five Star and 5 Four Star reviews).

We were also invited to perform at Spiegeltent for the Australian High Commissioner at a special command performance in support of Australia talent .

The players in Drags Aloud have years of experience in drag theatre and performance and an international reputation for excellence in drag performance.

Drags Aloud members have performed before record breaking crowds at entertainment venues in Melbourne and have been invited to present their spectacular shows across Australia

We have testimonials from stage directors, film makers and theatre critics congratulating us on ourr shows, our entertainment value and our commitment to excellence.

We deliver on-time, everytime. We bring you the best possible shows , presented professionally and leave our audiences wanting more.
