The Feast Festival Gayla

Feast Festival

Feast's iconic Gayla is back for a night of sharp wit, queer brilliance and beautiful chaos. No headliner, no hierarchy, just a stacked lineup of comics, cabaret artists, drag performers and one or two things you will not see coming. From stand-up to musical mayhem, ventriloquism to acts that defy a tidy description, the Gayla has always been the night where Feast lays out the full spread of talent in one sitting. Some of it will floor you, some of it will make you snort your drink. Grab your mates, settle in, and let the night do its thing.

About the presenter: Feast Festival

Feast Festival is South Australia's premier LGBTQIASB+ Arts and Cultural celebration. Nearly thirty years of Pridevember, and in 2026 we are turning it up.

Every November, Feast takes over Adelaide and regional South Australia with a program built on a simple conviction: queer art changes things. Burlesque, cabaret, drag, visual art, spoken word, comedy, film, music, and dance - alongside trivia nights, drag bingo, roller derby, fashion parades, erotic pottery, and Dungeons and Dragons. Because queer culture contains multitudes, and Feast is here for all of them.

The 2026 festival runs 1-22 November, combining a curated headline program with an open-access platform that invites anyone - sports clubs and family groups, theatre-makers and queer choirs, First Nations artists and community organisers - to register and be part of the festival. Half the program features new work or South Australian premieres. These artists are taking risks to share their stories. Our job is to show up.

Feast acknowledges the Kaurna people as the traditional custodians of the lands on which we celebrate. Let's Feast.

Feast Festival acknowledges that we gather, create and celebrate on the traditional lands of the Kaurna people.
We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging, and recognise First Nations peoples as the original storytellers, artists and custodians of this land.
We honour and respect queer First Nations communities, including Sistagirls and Brothaboys, and recognise the enduring connection between culture, identity, community and Country.
Sovereignty was never ceded. Always was, always will be Aboriginal Land.
