About Kara Zmatiq
Kara Zmatiq is a drag performer who sings every number live, using a counter-tenor voice across pop, dance, anthems and showstoppers. A standing ovation on Australia's Got Talent brought the act to a national audience. Around the Highlands, Kara is a familiar face at parties and festivals and is often billed as the region's drag queen. Local work has included Mardi Gras parties at Berrima Vault House and the Bundanoon Hotel. Kara also headlined the first Wedding & Wine Festival in the region at Centennial Vineyards, singing live and posing for meet-and-greet photos with families. Bookings range from a straight vocal set to a full night of hosting. Kara runs drag bingo, karaoke, trivia and games that get guests involved, and takes MC duties at gala dinners, conferences, presentation nights and launches. Weddings can include an aisle song, a reception set and MC work, while hens parties usually get a blend of singing, bingo and crowd work. Birthdays, engagements and anniversaries are regular bookings at homes, farm stays, hotels, pubs and restaurants. Kara is self-managed, so you deal with the performer directly, and the show is designed to suit all ages. Packages start at $650, and you can send an enquiry with your date and venue for a quote.
