London's LONGEST RUNNING queer talent showcase!
Countless sold-out events, incredible performances, and now ready for a brand new SECOND YEAR!
London's iconic queer talent showcase, Proudly Talented is back for a second year at the epic Two Brewers and we simply cannot wait to do this all over again with you, this time with even a bigger lineup, expect an incredible evening as you dive into the epic up and coming queer talents of London and beyond!
Hosted by London’s very own Beyond OZ (@beyondozmusic), Proudly Talented brings an avalanche of talent, highlighting the best of our creative queer community. From power ballads to dance anthems, drag performances to captivating spoken word, and comedy to breathtaking dance routines, this event promises to be a sensational experience. “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 during the lockdown in June 2020.
Proudly Talented is an exclusive showcase where five (or more) incredible headliners will grace our stage, performing both original works and covers, reminding us of the passion and creativity within the queer scene in London and beyond. Being an artist is challenging, which is why we're proud and excited to offer these phenomenal talents a platform to solidify their legacies, reach new audiences, and contribute to the continuation of queer live art.
