Scratch Night
Scratch Night is definitely queer, sometimes unpolished - but always a good time
In 2024 started a variety fundraising night SKINT’s Scratch Night in collaboration with artist Sunny Youngsmith. Scratch Night is a line variety show featuring drag, burlesque, comedy and all things in between. The night brings together artists from across Naarm who are itching to try out new unpolished ideas or get some practice in for their old reliables.
Scratch Night has hosted 34 acts across its 5 shows and runs on an ethos of community led financially accessible art for all. SKINT is proud to say no Scratch Night ticket has ever cost above $17. SKINT is also proud to say that across the last 2 Scratch Nights we were able to raise over $1200 for Palestinian Aid.
If you’re interested in performing in a scratch night get in touch with your act idea! We’re always looking to add artists to our performer database.
You can contact us via our Instagram or email.
Previous Scratch Night Alumni include:
Elska Day, Milo Hartill, Taylah Whelan, Handful Of Bugs, Grace Zhang, Tommy & Eadie, Gemma Caruana, Mama Eros, Umbra, Eddie Pattison, Iva Rosebud and many more.
