Proudly Talented - A Queer Talent Showcase
Countless sold out events, incredible acts and the best way to celebrate reaching to mid-week…
Oh, did we say it is also PRIDE month? And Proudly Talented is one of the oldest queer showcases that is still alive and rocking up to this day?
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.
We are looking forward to seeing you all on 19th June!
A tiny detail - it will also be a celebratory night for our host OZ's bday shenanigans!
