We're super excited to add the fabulous Basil Bush to our lineup!

Get ready Kong's, because Basil is not here to beat around the Bush!
Claiming the title of original Kong's Kings' Mx. Extra in 2018, Basil has been galavanting across Naarm's stages ever since, and causing havoc wherever he goes. Taking a leaf from his daddy's book, Basil promises to bring camp, crotch and creativity.

Today's performer announcement is none other than the incredible Jet Stir!

Jet Stir is the awkward creature you found crash landed in your backyard!

Jet Stir serves you clumsy precision, eclectic style, liquid face, theatrical drama and the hardest working eyebrows in drag!

Neither drag king nor queen, this drag jester wears the mask of everyone and everything

Performer Announcement!

All radiance and no repentance, draglesque dandy Ira Luxuria was named for the Latin terms for rage and lust- be prepared to indulge in both! A staple of unmissable burlesque and drag line-ups since 2017, Ira Luxuria has appeared in the Mx Burlesque Victoria and Burlesque Idol Melbourne competitions, the Australian Burlesque Festival, and also thrills, chills and fulfils with ‘Melbourne's Smuttiest Shadow Cast’, The Pelvic Thrusts. Both wickedly funny and just plain wicked, Ira has a face for an art gallery and a body for the back alley, and they’re here to make you give yourself over to absolute pleasure - they are The Original Sin Themself, IRA LUXURIA!

Come see the fabulous Ira Luxuria THIS FRIDAY at The Clocktower Centre for Midsumma Festival!

“The old guidelines of who can perform what kind of drag have gone out the window, along with the assumption that gender and sexuality exist within a strict binary. It’s no wonder that many are turning to drag as a creative tool of self-expression and liberation from the bounds of living in a heteronormative society.”

RuPaul’s Drag Race all but defines what drag is and who can perform it. The world’s best drag kings would like a word.

Last week's New Kongs: Fresh & In The Flesh was every bit as epic as we had imagined it would be! After 2 long years between 'New Kongs' shows, we were so thrilled to be back at our home at The Fox Hotel 3066 with our Kongs family. The talent sure has been brewing up a storm in that time because these acts were freakin' amazing! Thank you to Brig Bee Photo for documenting this momentous occasion for us.

We're fkn back baby! 🤙
