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 lineup 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 and 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.
