Our Drag Bingo event will be hosted by the marvellous Millie Anne Problems and the ever effervescent Eliza Lot.

Eliza Lot is one of Melbourne’s favourite dancing divas! Splits, kicks, cartwheels—the list goes on—and she’s not too bad on the eyes either. She’ll have you on your feet, spilling your drink and absolutely exhausted from all the fun. She’s the ultimate party starter—because there ain’t no party like an Eliza Lot party!

Millie Anne Problems is a local queen guaranteed to have you in stitches, serving up hilarious takes on iconic hits that will leave you doubled over with laughter (or stunned by her composure). By day, she’s a dog groomer who generously donates her time and skills to those doing it tough—including Pets Of The Homeless clients. Now, she’s bringing both passions together for a fabulous night of fun and fundraising.
