Entertainer Doug Lucas has been delighting audiences around the country for several decades as a comic, a creative and much loved drag performer. Chiefly his performance stage has been found in various Melbourne venues.
Doug is a pioneer of these establishments, commencing Melbourne's first gay disco in 1975 and the legendary show evening, Pokeys, in 1977.

“It was only going to be a little Sunday night show but it grew and grew”, Lucas recalls. “We started without any sets or props, then started doing little simple sets”. As its popularity grew, those simple sets became increasingly elaborate, as did the costumes and staging. “We used to do a massive, massive show. They were the biggest drag shows Melbourne has seen.”

Doug has been performing and running events ever since. Most recently with the very popular Broadside entertainments.
He is a legend of the Melbourne scene and a most charismatic fellow. You’ll quickly discover in this terrific conversation with the fabulous Doug Lucas.
