The Real Qweens Of The City
While we wait for Drag Race to bless us with its presence in Australia, local Drag Queens and artists are working hard to provide us with a good time out and getting us to scream âYASSSSS QWEEN!â at the local bars like The Beat, The Wickham, The Stand and many others. Although with this covid-19 drama we are still working towards supporting small businesses and local artists. So why not give some recognition to the drag queens that constantly entertain us with their charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and, talent.
