Bangers, Beers & Bears: Princess and Villains
Villainous vocals, princely pints and wicked good times.
Once upon a beer, I mean bear... if you thought Melbourne couldn't get any queerer, this fairy tale just got hairy!
Join Big Kev and Dean Arcuri for a full-blown bear-powered sing-along takeover of some fab queer venues this Midsumma, where you can expect frosty ice-queen ballads, under-the-sea diva wails, glass-slipper dreams, and more wicked witch sass.
The beers will be flowing, the choruses will be roaring, and the crowd will be louder than a castle full of fireworks. This isn’t your childhood bedtime story—it’s camp, it’s cheeky, and it comes in a pint glass.
It's hairy storybook magic where all the show profits donated to Queer Sporting Alliance. You don’t need a magic wand or a poisoned apple to join in the action.
Grab your mates, dust off your inner villain grin, and come thirsty—because this is where Pride meets storybook fantasy.
Be early, be loud, and above all, be wicked.
"Pints, pride, and pure camp magic. Melbourne’s queer storybook just found its anthem."
