MISSION STATEMENT

“Radical Joy. Fierce Art. Queer Futures.”

YUMMY Productions exists to create transformative performance that celebrates diversity, disrupts the mainstream, and champions queer voices through bold, boundary-pushing cabaret. We are committed to crafting unforgettable, high-impact experiences that entertain, empower, and expand cultural visibility for the LGBTQIA+ community and beyond.

Through a blend of drag, dance, circus, burlesque, fashion, and live performance, YUMMY defies genre to create a vibrant, inclusive space where radical joy thrives. Our work connects audiences with stories of identity, resilience, and celebration—offering both spectacle and substance in equal measure.

At our core, we believe in art that brings people together. From glittering stages in major cities to intimate shows in regional communities, we centre equity, access, and queer excellence in everything we do. YUMMY is more than performance—it’s a community.

COMPANY BIO

YUMMY Productions is a trailblazing performance collective based in Naarm/ Melbourne, Australia, known for its genre-defying blend of cabaret, drag, dance, circus, burlesque, and live music. Since bursting onto the scene in 2015, YUMMY has become a global phenomenon, touring internationally to over 60 festivals while staying grounded in its mission to uplift LGBTQIA+ voices and celebrate intersectional identities. We’ve won major awards such as “Best Cabaret Production” at the Green Room Awards, and “Best Cabaret” at Fringe World.

Our productions are a fusion of high-glamour, fierce talent, and subversive storytelling. With a strong commitment to inclusion, YUMMY serves as a vital platform for diverse artists—particularly queer, non-binary, trans, and culturally diverse performers. We prioritise accessible, community-connected performance that speaks to the joy and complexity of queer life.

Beyond the stage, YUMMY is an active agent for social change. We facilitate workshops, artist residencies, and regional outreach, creating space for expression, mental health, and cultural dialogue. As a company, we champion artistic innovation while holding space for connection, care, and celebration.

WHY SUPPORT YUMMY?

YUMMY Productions is uniquely positioned to make a profound artistic and social impact in Australia and beyond. Our work is not just performance—it’s a public intervention, a cultural reimagining, and a rallying cry for joy, especially in marginalised communities. In a climate of uncertainty and fragmentation, we offer unity through art, glamour, and connection.

Support for YUMMY directly contributes to the visibility and wellbeing of LGBTQIA+ communities. Our shows offer empowering representations, challenge harmful narratives, and uplift audiences with laughter, love, and light. We also actively support the mental health of our artists and audiences by fostering spaces of belonging and celebration.

With your support, YUMMY will expand its reach through national touring, artist development programs, and community-based initiatives that bring queer art to new and vital audiences. Together, we can build a future where bold, brilliant, queer voices are not just heard, but celebrated—and where radical joy becomes a cultural norm.
