MISSION STATEMENT

Radical Joy. Fierce Art. Queer Futures.

YUMMY Productions creates electrifying performance that celebrates queer identity, challenges convention, and invites radical connection.

Through a riot of drag, dance, circus, and cabaret, we craft vivid worlds where joy is political, bodies are powerful, and difference is divine.

Our purpose is simple: to amplify queer voices, build community through art, and make space for stories that demand to be seen.

From city stages to rural halls, YUMMY is a living, glittering rebellion—a family, a celebration, a call to feel more deeply… and do it in style.

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.
