Qtopia Sydney will once again be part of the beating heart of Sydney Fringe Festival, hosting the official Queer Hub from 2-27 September 2025.
For a full month, Qtopia Sydney’s performance spaces, the Loading Dock Theatre and The Substation, will transform into a dedicated home for LGBTQIA+ voices, showcasing more than 30 performances of theatre, cabaret, comedy and music that speak directly to Queer identity, creativity and community.
Following a successful debut in 2024, Queer Hub 2025 expands Qtopia Sydney’s role as a central platform for diverse and independent Queer artistry, embedding LGBTQIA+ stories within the city’s largest independent arts festival.
Program highlights include:
Queens Out (Verb) – A comedy-drag variety fever dream from Hollywood Fringe winners Annie & Lorelei
B-Cup: The Bressed Story – Starring RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under’s Brenda Bressed
Let’s Unpack That – Featuring original music by ARIA Award-winner Montaigne alongside Kate Wilkins and Nick Harriot
“Qtopia Sydney exists to preserve, celebrate and share Queer stories, and being the Queer Hub for Sydney Fringe Festival is a natural extension of that mission,” said Carly Fisher, Artistic & Programs Director at Qtopia Sydney. “This program gives LGBTQIA+ artists a stage to create, experiment and connect, while offering audiences a space to come together and celebrate who we are.”
Now in its 15th year, the Sydney Fringe Festival presents more than 450 events across 70+ venues each September. The Queer Hub at Qtopia Sydney ensures Queer artistry has a visible and celebrated presence within the broader festival, while situating Qtopia Sydney as a cultural anchor in Sydney’s creative landscape.
Tickets and the full program are available at https://qtopiasydney.com.au/sydney-fringe-festival/ and the Sydney Fringe Festival website.
