?️‍? TALENT - Performer Application

Talent Call – Queer Performers to the Front, Please!
Are you a drag artist, singer, dancer, poet, DJ, or performance powerhouse? Do you serve stage presence, gender euphoria, and maybe a little bit of chaos in the best possible way? We want you at Albany Pride.

We’re booking queer talent first and foremost—because Pride is for you, and your art deserves the spotlight and the coin.

💸 Pay is $350 because we want you to focus on performing and sharing your art—not chasing gigs to cover gas. Also, pay equity? It’s a thing.
💅 Need a little help getting stage-ready? We’ll run you some money early if needed—because it’s expensive to look this cheap.

We prioritize talent from the greater Albany area, but we’ve been known to make exceptions for those who truly serve c*nt on stage.

✨ A quick note: Albany Pride is an all-ages event with a beautifully broad audience—kids, teens, parents, elders, and everyone in between. You’re an artist, so you already know the assignment: keep it bold, brilliant, and community-conscious. What happens on stage during the day should reflect the power and joy of queer expression for everyone.

Bring your truth, your talent, and your glitter—we’ll bring the stage and the love.

Apply below and tell us what you do (and drop a clip or link if you’ve got it). Let’s make Pride magic. 🌈✨
