The act
A host who can run the formalities of your wedding and then lip-sync a number after the speeches. Whether the crowd is already up for it or needs a gentle build, she reads the room and shapes the flow to match. An Abril LaTrene booking can hold lip-sync numbers, Drag Queen Bingo, trivia and hosted games, with plenty of humour, and nobody gets singled out or made to feel awkward. As MC she'll keep your run sheet on time, move cleanly from one part of the night to the next, and make it look unhurried. Hens parties and weddings are both on her list, and songs, artists or a theme you want can be worked in where possible. Brisbane based, and a natural fit for a couple who want the hosting itself to be part of the entertainment, glamour included.

Good to know
What to expect
You're booking a host as much as a performer. She reads the room and adjusts as she goes, so a crowd that's ready to go from the first song gets one show and a mixed work function that needs warming up gets another. A booking can hold lip-sync numbers, interactive games like trivia or bingo, crowd participation and a lot of humour. Guests get brought into it without being put on the spot, which is a harder line to walk than it sounds. If MC or hosting work is part of the deal, expect clean transitions, clear communication and someone quietly keeping the night to time while still looking relaxed. Sound and a microphone can be provided, or she'll plug into the venue system.
On the day
Setup is deliberately low fuss. She needs a small, safe performance area with enough room to move and interact with guests. A standard power point is preferred if she's bringing full sound and lighting, though she can adapt to most spaces. Her own PA, microphone and music setup can come along, or she'll use the venue's system. A private room isn't always necessary, but a bathroom or small nearby space for quick touch-ups and costume changes helps. Easy access for bump in and bump out, plus parking close by, keeps everything on time.
Set List
No two bookings run the same set, because it's built around your crowd and the night you're planning. Expect high energy feel-good tracks with a few unmissable crowd favourites threaded through, and a set that builds across the booking while leaving room for games, interaction or the moments in your run sheet. For events with several segments, lip-sync performances, Drag Queen Bingo, trivia and hosted games can all sit together with MC work joining them up. Got songs, artists or a theme you want in there? She'll work them in where she can.
Performance options
Bookings cover hens parties, Drag Bingo with performances and prizes either in person or virtual, emceeing, Drag Trivia, weddings, Christmas parties and corporate activations. Custom packages get built around your event style and audience. Everything is tailored to the size of the event, the location and what you need on the day.
