“Hello everyone! My name is Ginava!
I have some Messy friends I’d like you to meet!”

MESSY FRIENDS is a dynamic and innovative drag collective that fuses lip-sync, burlesque, dance, and documentary-style videos to create a unique "Drag-u-mentary" experience.

Led by the creative vision of Ginava, the group originated in Perth, Western Australia, and has captivated audiences worldwide with its blend of vibrant performances, striking costumes, and deeply personal storytelling.

MESSY FRIENDS explores the complexities of the queer experience, addressing themes of identity, resilience, and self-acceptance, all while delivering high-energy, visually stunning shows that leave a lasting impact offstage, through revealing pre-recorded interviews and eclectic live performances

The artists are unmasked in this multi award-winning drag variety show from Gendermess Productions.
