What a night! ❤️‍🔥

YUMMY had the absolute pleasure of performing two acts at @globevictoria 12th Annual Pride Awards last night… and it meant so much to us to be part of such a joyful celebration of our LGBTQIA+ community. Such a joy to perform “Maximum Glamour” by the one and only @tanzertanzertanzer again!

So many familiar and fabulous faces in the crowd, so much love in the room, and honestly just so much fun to get up there and do what we do. 🌈✨

Huge congratulations to all of this year’s nominees, winners and everyone who makes our community what it is.

And a special shoutout to the incomparable @rtist_ , who did such a brilliant job hosting the night. 💖

Thank you GLOBE for having YUMMY along for the celebration. We loved every minute. @val_function @hanniehelsden @jandruze @bendy_ben @velmavouloir @ceruleanuwu

Well… that escalated quickly 💋

The remainder of the current season of PIPER’S PLAYHOUSE is now officially SOLD OUT. Thank you to every single person who joined us for this wild, glamorous, chaotic little dream at Crown Melbourne.

To everyone who came, screamed, drank champagne, tipped performers, brought friends, came back twice (or five times)… we adore you.

But don’t panic just yet…

Keep your eyes peeled for future announcements 👀✨

Pipers Playhouse wasn’t just a show, but an entire dazzling experience from the moment you walked in. Cheeky confession corners, roving edible bubbles, a jazz band setting the mood. 🍾💋

With the crème de la crème of cabaret, burlesque, jazz and circus artistry this was such a highlight and one of the most polished variety nights I’ve seen. I felt like I’d been transported to another world and the attention to detail didn’t go unnoticed.

Don’t miss this fabulous show! ✨
