  • Presented by: The OC Project

  • Hosted by: Poussay

  • Featuring: Jens Radda & Guests

Prepare for a night of campery and debauchery at the Haus of Poussay, a tantalising variety show hosted by Naarm’s hottest up and coming AFAB queen, Poussay (Olivia Charalambous).

She may be a baby (drag competition winner), but this bitch under a wig is no stranger to the stage. Back after making waves in this year’s Melbourne International Comedy Festival with the sell-out season of ‘She Slayed: A Drag Murder Mystery’, Poussay will be serving the best Haus Party Melburn has to offer.

Featuring Australia’s most elegant clown, Jens Radda, as well as a line up of some of the best cabaret, comedy, and performance artists the city has to offer, HOP is a guaranteed riotous night out. Sunday may be a day of rest, but not for the Haus of Poussay.

So somebody - anybody! - please grab a hose. Because this Poussay is on fire.

"Olivia (Poussay) lives up to the hype. And there's hype. She’s a star." - Praise Dionysus!

"She's a little lady with a big voice and big hair ready to take on the world! So epic, you'll need a vaccination." - Weekend Notes
