Esther Rix - Australia's Most Glamorous Drag Beauty Queen
The act
Esther Rix sings live, which still sets her apart in Melbourne drag. She took the Miss Gay Australia International title in 2018, has styled wigs for celebrities, and has performed at Melbourne's longest running queer venue, and she appeared on ABC's The Recording Studio singing From This Moment On. The repertoire leans big: Jolene, I Will Survive, Le Jazz Hot, Never Enough, Rise Like a Phoenix, Memory. She hosts bingo and trivia, works corporate rooms, hens nights and weddings, and she'd rather be out among the guests than parked on a stage. Speakers and a microphone come with her. All she needs from you is somewhere private to change.

Good to know
What to expect
Esther can hold a room just by entering it, but she'd rather be down among the guests than parked behind a microphone. Glamour and sass, plenty of both. When she does sing, the voice is the thing that pins people to their seats, backed by the look and the stage presence. It's live singing, which in drag still counts for something.
On the day
She brings her own speakers and microphone, so there's nothing for the venue to supply on that front. The one thing she does need is somewhere private to change outfits, if the show calls for a change.
Set List
The repertoire leans on big voices and bigger songs. Dolly Parton is in there with Jolene and 9 to 5, and Shania Twain brings From This Moment On and Man I Feel Like a Woman. Gloria Gaynor covers both I Will Survive and I Am What I Am. Musicals get a good run: Le Jazz Hot, Maybe This Time, Never Enough, Memory from Cats, Beauty School Dropout, There Are Worse Things I Could Do, and Science Fiction/Double Feature. Shirley Bassey handles Goldfinger and Diamonds Are Forever. Then there's Rise Like a Phoenix, A Million Dreams, True Colors, Sound of Silence, Hopelessly Devoted to You, Let It Go, Under the Boardwalk, The Name Game and When We Were Young. Give her enough notice and she'll learn a specific song for a moment that matters.
Performance options
The show scales to the event, big or small, and gets shaped around what you're actually running rather than dropped in unchanged. Tell her what the night looks like and the performance is built to suit it.
