Start your engines: the best woman will win this variety show that challenges all you thought you knew about drag

For this year's Melbourne Fringe, the conveniently-named actor and comedian Lou Wall (It’s Not Me, It’s Lou) has produced Lou Wall’s Drag Race, a satirical take on the popular program hosted by RuPaul. The show, co-produced by Wall and Jean Tong (Hungry Ghosts, Romeo is Not the Only Fruit), features a predominantly female and non-binary cast of performers.

Most of the songs are composed by Wall and sound designer Sidney Millar, and feature the cast banding together to take down the forces of discrimination In one number, a character defeats misogyny by taking on a drag performer known as Miss Annabelle Ogyny. Another number lists 100 dumb ways to die while in drag. For instance, tearing off 11 outfits when you only prepared for 10 (the 11th is your skin). Some classic numbers are also included in the production for the long time drag fans.
