Miss Plastic 2026 (a queer performance pageant)

Miss Plastic 2026 – A Queer Performance Pageant

Get ready for a night of glitter, grit and chaos  as we look for the very first Miss Plastic 2026!

This isn’t your average pageant. We’re throwing open the stage to the drag queens, kings, things, burlesque artists, musicians, performance freaks, weirdos and queerdos who dare to take it further, push it harder, and serve it stranger.

Competitors will battle it out across three fierce rounds, showcasing:

✨ Performance skills – can you own the stage?
✨ The look – turn it, stun us, break the rules.
✨ Entertainment value – keep the crowd gagging for more.

At the end of the night, one supreme star will be crowned Miss Plastic 2026, taking home:

👑 A sparkling crown and sceptre
💷 £250 cash prize
🎤 Multiple gig opportunities at upcoming Plastic cabarets

So, who will snatch the crown?

📅 Date: Friday 30th January 2026
📍 Venue: Area, Sackville Street
🕢 Time: 7:30 – 9:30pm

Come ready to scream, cheer, and celebrate the queer brilliance Manchester has to offer.
