About Syd Showgirls

Syd Showgirls is a Sydney talent agency that brings drag queens and burlesque performers together under one banner. Its roster of around 15 performers includes drag hosts such as Felicity Frockaccino, named Sydney's Favourite Drag Hostess at the 2023 DIVA Awards, Conchita Grande, Kat Abolic and Dakota Fann'ee, alongside burlesque artists who have won titles including Burlesque Idol Sydney and Mr Boylesque Australia. The agency also runs a regular draggieoke night at The Newtown Hotel. Most bookings are built around a drag host. Formats include drag bingo with prizes and cheeky number calls, drag trivia, musical and disco bingo, drag karaoke and bottomless drag brunches, and each can be shaped around a group of 30 or a room of 300. For hens parties the team mixes a host running games with life drawing and an optional burlesque number, and there are bucks versions too. Corporate packages cover Christmas parties, end of financial year awards nights, team-building bingo and Pride events, with the tone agreed in advance so the comedy stays workplace friendly. One performer is a registered celebrant, so a couple can have a drag queen marry them and then host the reception. Every event is quoted individually, based on the format, run time, number of performers and how far the venue is from the CBD. Performers bring a full PA, work to a clear run sheet and turn up on time, and the business is covered by $10 million of public liability insurance, and venues can ask for proof of cover.

Frequently asked questions

What drag entertainment can I book through Syd Showgirls?

Options include drag bingo, drag trivia, musical and disco bingo, drag karaoke, drag brunches, hosting for awards and galas, and live burlesque or cabaret numbers. The agency can also build a custom night that combines several formats.

Is it suitable for a work Christmas party?

Yes. The tone of a corporate set is settled with you ahead of the day, ranging from boardroom clean and all-ages to cheekier after-dark sets, so the humour lands without creating a workplace problem.

Can a drag queen host a hens party?

Yes. Hens packages usually centre on a drag host running games and roasts, and can add hosted life drawing with a professional model, bingo or trivia, or a live burlesque show as the centrepiece.

Do the performers bring their own sound system?

Yes. Bookings come with a full PA and a run sheet, and Syd Showgirls carries $10 million of public liability cover and can send your venue the paperwork.

What does a Syd Showgirls booking cost?

There is no set price list. Quotes depend on group size and format, run time, the number of performers and the venue's location, and events further than about 30 km from the CBD may attract a travel fee.
