📅 Friday 27 September | 9.30pm @ Ivy Bar, Pōneke
🎟️ Tickets: $20 (excluding ticket fees) | Generosity options available!
💸 All proceeds to Wellington Pride Festival!
Kia ora brats and popstars! Get your heads out the passenger seat and get ready, cause your about to be bumpin’ that with some of wellington drags finest!
Royalty is stepping into the ring (well, the stage) for CHAPPELL vs CHARLI : a high-camp, high-stakes, drag smackdown showdown, where our fabulous local drag artists channel the icons of Charli XCX and Chappell Roan to battle it out for title of 'Queen of the Chartsverse'… all in the name of charity **
✨ THE SMACKDOWN ✨
Three lip sync rounds. Four drag titans. One glitter-drenched champion.
Each round sees performers pull a mystery song each from their assigned diva’s discography and fight for the crown based on lip sync accuracy and undeniable star quality. Think charity boxing... but queerer. Like, much queerer. Only you! The audience... and our incredible judge Rachel Winter Hase can determine our number #1 pop icon!
👑 FEATURING
💋 Homer Neurotic (multi-award-winning drag king)
💄 Slay West (the biggest mouth in the biz)
🔥 Petra Fyde (now your petrified)
🎤 Ms. Leading (Your big bros lil secret)
(and Olivia Dreams on door)
🧠 Hosted by the ever-glamorous Selina Simone, and judged by local performance legend Rachel Winter Hase, who will deliver her pop verdicts with love and lashes *whipcrack.mp3
🎭 A high-speed crash of glitter, vocals, and vengeance! Expect drag, drama, and come ready to holler, hoot, bump, and help us decide who is our ultimate XCX BRAT or CHAPPELL POPSTAR!
🎟️ Tickets: Just $20 + fees, with donation options for those feeling generous – every cent raised goes to support Wellington Pride Festival, helping make 2025 the queerest yet!
⚠️ ACCESSIBILITY: Ivy Bar is located downstairs but alternative access is possible with prior planning. Please email [email protected] so we can accommodate you. If you wish to attend and donate, but cost is an issue for you, please reach to me as well <3
🩷 Heels on, lashes locked… it’s time to throw down (glamorously). CHAPPELL vs CHARLI is not a drill. See you under the spotlight, darling **
🔞 R18 – this show is for adults only. Expect drag, drama, and a lot of chaos!
