Stage Out: Prague Pride Festival Talent Show

Are you an aspiring singer, an undiscovered drag queen, a finally-funny stand-up comic – or do you have a talent our queer stage simply needs to experience? Sign up for Stage Out, the new talent show of Prague Pride Festival.

Stage Out is a space for all kinds of performative queer artistry. It doesn't matter if it's your first time on stage or if you're still searching for the right audience – this show was made exactly for you. Anyone who has something to show and dares to perform it in front of the audience and jury at Pride Village can apply.

The evening of new talent will be hosted by dancer and podcast host Eliška Soukupová. The jury will feature cultural journalist Jana Pakočka Patočková and influencer Sebastian Šikl. It's a strong line-up capable of recognising real queer talent!

As for you: come cheer on the brave, discover new faces and enjoy an evening that, for some of the performers, might be the beginning of a dream career – or at least their best stage performance yet.

How to get on Stage? If you want to apply, fill in the online form with basic info about yourself and send us a video showcasing your performance (max. 5 minutes). The application deadline is 26 July. On behalf of the festival, we swear on the rainbow unicorn that we'll do our best to let everyone who applies perform. Only if the number of performers exceeds the generously planned time slot of the evening will we make a pre-selection. The key criterion will be maximum diversity of performers.
