It’s that time of year, where people roam the streets in want of candy, and the adults dress up as sexy versions of the mundane and dance dance dance till they die. Hallo-qween is where the queers gathers to enjoy some spooky queer cabaret talent, mingle with other like minded individuals, and get the fright of their life as Hera put’s their safety as risk, again. Some of your hand selected cabaret dreams will be on stage, with a prize for best dressed (YES THERE IS A BEST DRESSED!!!) so make sure you put something on (or not) and get ready for Halloqween.
QT Cabaret is a place for Transgender and Gender queer people to trial cabaret acts, or just let off some steam on stage. It is a space to meet other people, and to watch the amazingly talented community of Hobart.
