After our debut and SOLD OUT show back in September, London’s iconic new queer talent showcase will be back at the Two Brewers, bring many award-winning & up and coming queer talents together!
Hosted by London's very own Beyond OZ (beyondozmusic), Proudly Talented sees an avalanche of talent showcasing what’s best about our creative queer community. From power ballads to dance tunes, drag to captivating spoken word catch phrases to breath taking dance breaks and comedy, we can’t wait to lay the groundwork of this event to make it a regular sensation. “It’s incredible that after three years, we’ve found the right venue and the right people to bring Proudly Talented back into the real world” says Beyond OZ, who organised a series of online shows back in June 2020, in the midst of lockdown days.
Proudly Talented is an exclusive showcase night where five (or more) incredible headliners will grace our stage and showcase both original and some cover material by reminding us how incredible and passionate our queer creative scene has become in London and beyond. It’s no surprise that being an artist on its own is a challenging life, that’s why we are proud and excited to be able to give all these phenomenal artists a platform where they can embalm their legacies, reach out to new audiences and contribute to the continuation of queer live art.
Launched on 21st September 2023 our first show was a sold out one in the nick of time! Our next show will bring together some of the most iconic queer artists of London and beyond:
DARLINK DICK
LAZ LIGHTNING
NORMA NIGHT
NICK ALDRICH
