MISS CAIRO
6.15–7.45PM
Miss Cairo is a sassy Siren of the Sands, a rhinestone in the rough who defies convention with her humour, heart, and haute couture. With a wink and a flourish, she illuminates stages with her Egyptian beauty and British wit, celebrates diversity with every facet, and empowers others to embrace their unique shining selves. From London to Melbourne, Miss Cairo captivates with her flamboyant flair and fearless artistry and with each shimmy and strut.
Each week, Miss Cairo will bring with her a special guest, drag king, Jenitals. Now an established face in Melbourne drag, Jenitals will grace the stage with his charisma, provocative puns and dad jokes. The wiggle in his eyebrows and his booty will not be tamed and you won’t be able to resist the camp, the comedy and the chaos of Jenitals!
This performance is adult-in-nature and performances may contain mature themes and coarse language.
