Proudly Talented – A Queer Talent Showcase
Countless sold-out nights. Jaw-dropping acts. The ultimate midweek pick-me-up.
Oh, and did we mention - we are now the longest running queer showcase of London?
We’re thrilled to bring back Proudly Talented, one of the longest-standing queer talent showcases still lighting up London’s stages. Born during the digital days of lockdown and now returning in the flesh, this show is ready to dazzle, delight, and deliver that signature queer magic all over again.
Hosted by London’s own Beyond OZ (@beyondozmusic), Proudly Talented is a riot of raw talent and bold expression—think powerhouse ballads, dancefloor anthems, fierce drag, witty spoken word, sharp-as-hell comedy, and dance breaks that’ll leave you breathless. It’s more than a showcase: it’s a celebration of queer artistry in all its glittering glory.
“It’s incredible that after three years, we’ve finally found the right venue and the right people to bring Proudly Talented back into the real world,” says Beyond OZ, reflecting on the show’s online origins in June 2020.
Joined by epic acts that will make of our BUSIEST line up ever, Grete Tude, Norma Night, Pure Tenacity, Sumner Brook, Jillette Blade, Horologica and Bellsavy will mark the brand new season of Proudly Talented! Our mission is to spotlight the richness and resilience of London’s queer creative scene: past, present, and future. Because being an artist is hard enough; finding a platform to be heard shouldn’t be.
