THE BISCUIT Factory is hosting a drag night, followed by a screening of the cult classic The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.

Drag queens Calamity Storm and Sindy le Moist will host an evening of entertainment, which includes a best dressed competition.

Attendees are encouraged to wear their most dazzling threads for the chance to win a pair of cinema tickets.

Host Sindy Le Moist will see that the audience is suitably warmed up before the film showing, with comedy and lip-syncing.

They’ll be joined by Calamity Storm, who includes a heavy dose of creepiness and unearthly glamour in their drag show, which will also bring some Nina Hagen, Björk, and Liza Minelli to the Biscuit Factory.

Priscilla, Queen of the Desert is an Australian film which follows the journey of a trans woman and two drag queens as they travel across the Outback in a tour bus named Priscilla.
