Holly will make you HollyPOP!

Enjoy our second Frolic Cabaret bio – introducing HollyPop!

HollyPop is Ballarat’s newest Drag Queen having only started drag in August of last year.

Holly is a live singing and dancing sensation with a history of Musical Theatre and Commercial Dance. Eager to see what’s in store for her, Holly is always experimenting with drag and trying new things to discover what she can do. Keep an eye out for Holly as she dreams of bringing a new side of performance to Ballarat and the greater queer community of Victoria.

Having moved from Brisbane to Ballarat to study Musical Theatre, Nathan is ready to show what he can do. As a queer artist Nathan is always seeking to push the limits of performing and is excited to be involved with Frolic Festival for a second year.

In his final year of his Musical Theatre bachelor at Federation University he is itching to get out into the world and see what’s next. Interested in writing and creating his own work among the queer community Nathan enjoys exploring all elements of performing including drag.

Keep an eye out for a cheeky blonde with similar bone structure – she’s sure to POP up somewhere!
