  • Presented by: Melbourne Fringe

Serving all the drama, diamantes and dummy spits of Toddlers in Tiaras, this anti-pageant beauty pageant chucks out arbitrary beauty standards and dials up the Fringey, the fabulous and the fantastical.

This line-up of wannabe Fringe pageant-royalty will compete in an over-the-top battle royale, busting out their most outlandish looks, mind-boggling talents and answering ludicrous interview questions to win the crown... and your hearts.

Who will be the inaugural Mx Fringe?

    A close up shot of three people. You can only see their shoulders and the bottom halves of their faces and there are shadows across most of the image. On the far right, a person with red lipstick on has their tongue out, about to lick the face of the person in the middle. The person in the middle is wearing a striped navy and white shirt, and they have their face tilted up with a look of both pain and pleasure. On the far left, a person in a blue suit is whispering in the ear of the person in the centre. They also have their hand around the throat of the person in the centre.
