Albany Boatshed

YeeHaw! Get on your boots and make your way down to celebrate Albany Pride Festival’s biggest night in true country style.

Boot scooter? I don’t even know her?!? Don’t worry if you have forgotten every move to Cotton Eyed Joe, the fabulous team from OUTdance Perth will be on hand to show us how it’s done with a range of easy to learn line and partner dances.

Festival Queen BarbieQ and her gals Alexas Armstrong and Veronica Jean Jones will be there to entertain, while DJ Her Highness will keep the hot tunes coming all night long.

It’s giving Barnyard Eleganza, make sure you dress the part as there may just be a sneaky prize for whoever serves the best Country.

When you need to take a break from all the fun there will be a bar supplied by Dan Murphys and food trucks available to refuel.

This event is strictly 18+. Doors open at 6pm.

BarbieQ

BarbieQ is Albany Pride royalty – first performing at Albany Pride Festival back in 2017, and returning each year since!

BarbieQ is renowned in the drag performance community, with over twenty years in the industry. She’s a multi-award winner, a dancer since the age of thirteen (with a five year career as a dancer for Princess Cruises in the USA) and is the Entertainment Manager for Connections Nightclub in Perth.

If that’s not enough, BarbieQ is also a regular Fringe Festival performer in Perth, which shows such as The Madonna Circus: ReInvention and Drag Diva Spectacular.

It’s always an absolute delight to welcome BarbieQ back to Albany, who amazes our audiences with her artistry, moves, sharp wit, and delightfully vulgar language!

Alexas Armstrong

Alexas Armstrong is Drag Queen Royalty in Boorloo/Perth: but she’s also royalty down here in Albany/Kinjarling having been a regular performer at our Pride Festivals for many years.

Veronica Jean Jones

Veronica Jean Jones is an Albany Pride Festival regular, coming down to Albany/Kinjarling many times over the past few years.

With a caustic wit and a filthy mouth, Veronica Jean Jones is a Drag Bingo and Trivia Night favourite during Pride Festival.

DJ Her Highness

With a dynamic blend of genres and an infectious energy that lights up every dance floor, DJ Her Highness is a force to be reckoned with in the world of open format DJing. Known for her versatility and ability to seamlessly transition between hip-hop, house, pop, and everything in between, Her Highness creates an unforgettable musical experience that keeps crowds moving all night long.
