The groundbreaking cult sensation T4T returns to Melbourne Fringe!

T4T is a variety showcase like no other! Featuring some of the most exciting, most daring and most creative performers in the country. But here's the twist - every single performer is trans, and the audience is too. That's right - if you're not trans, you're not invited.

Expect to see everything including comedy, burlesque, poetry, music and drag in a way you've never seen it before. It's a show with no apologies given, no explanations needed, no dress code required. A sanctuary for the nonconforming. For trans folk, for non-binary folk, for everyone who has fled the confines of gender altogether.

(Cis people are allowed, but not encouraged).
