THE SHOW!
At long last, I’m unveiling my meticulously researched, scientifically flawless, and definitely-not-panic-induced prediction for how the world will end. If you disagree, congratulations – you’re part of the problem. Enjoy your echo chamber while the rest of us prepare for the grand finale.
Join me as I break down the political incompetence, corporate buffoonery, and garden-variety stupidity that will bring civilisation to a face-planting halt. It’s satire, it’s prophecy, and it’s disturbingly plausible.

SUNSLAY SESH – SLAYOFFS
SunSLAY SLAYOFFS is a four-week live drag competition presented by SunSLAY Drag.
The competition features 12 drag performers competing across three preliminary heats, with six contestants performing each week. Artists will showcase their drag through a lip sync performance that highlights their creativity, stage presence, and unique performance style. A panel of four judges and the audience will both play a role in determining the outcome, with one Judges’ Choice winner and one Audience Choice winner advancing from each heat.
The six finalists will return for the Grand Final, where they will perform a new number before the judges and audience each select a finalist. The final two competitors will then battle in a lip sync showdown to determine the overall winner. The winner receives a cash prize of $1000 and a future SunSLAY Adelaide Fringe opportunity.
The competition is open to drag queens, drag kings and all things between, with a focus on celebrating the diversity and talent within Australia’s drag community.
