Big Diva Energy

What Happens when a Mother manifests a gay son? A camp-AF musical cabaret. Big Vocals, Bigger Confessions and the Biggest D…iva. If Shirley Bassey and Liza Minnelli gave birth to a bold, brassy twink, Will Skarpona would come tap dancing out of that womb. Big Diva Energy is an unapologetically camp, delightfully authentic musical cabaret – a memoir of a 21-year old self-procclaimed diva, featuring iconic hits from Madonna, Tina Turner, Chappell Roan and more. BDE explores what it means to live authentically in a world that demands conformity. Equal parts glitter and grit, this is a celebration of resilience, self-expression, and owning your spotlight. Fresh from the Victorian College of the Arts with a Music Theatre degree and a Dobell Foundation Cabaret Award to his name, Will Skarpona is ready to weaponise his BFA in his Melbourne Fringe debut. Expect belt-it-to-the-back-row vocals, unhinged confessionals, and more sequins than a Real Housewives reunion. Crack open the Grey Goose – you’re in for one very entertaining night.
Big Diva Energy is part of Melbourne Fringe Festival 2026.
