Genesis 2 Year Anniversary
Cafe Gummo (Thornbury, VIC)
Thursday, 27 August 2026 7:00 pm
Come one, come all to a celebration of TWO YEARS worth of Drag Kings and Things at Genesis! It's hard for King/Thing events to have the kind of longevity Genesis has had, so let's get together and celebrate the incredible achievements of this community.
The show will feature some of the most memorable performers from the last 12 months of Genesis as voted by YOU, including Miss Gender, Dante Van-Go-There, and Maxectomy, as well as welcoming newcomer to our scene Egbert Galarga. Of course, no Genesis would be complete without Red Shift, who has punched its ticket at more Genesis shows than anyone, so it will be co-hosting with Randy for the night!
The show also features a face/off and impersonation open stage, where you can come dressed as another drag performer, and sign up to impersonate them for a 90 second slot on stage! There will be a sign up list on the night - make sure you check the performer you're impersonating is okay with being portrayed!
Accessibility:
Attendees will be asked to wear a mask. N95s will be provided at the door.
Cafe Gummo is partially wheelchair accessible via a ramp that can be brought out upon request. There is a wheelchair accessible bathroom out the back. However, larger chairs may have difficulty fitting through the corridor to the accessible bathroom.
No strobes or flashing lights will be used at this show.
Genesis takes place on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to their elders past and present, and to the long history of storytelling that has taken place in the land where we gather to perform.
