Four artists have been challenged by Gendermess’ lead creative Ginava to develop, polish and present a theatrical lip-sync that uses only spoken word dialogue, rather than sung vocals.

Rising local drag stars Impulse Kuntrol, Beau Pash, Brenda Wee and Dakota Howard have been honing their skills under Ginava’s expert tutelage and now they’re ready to show you what they can do!

Spit Shine will be at Connections Nightclub on Saturday 6 July. Head to Facebook for more.
