About DragRadar

Like a lot of you ending up here, I have a confession. I'm addicted to drag.

I popped my drag cherry at a paint-and-sip with Kita Mean at Caluzzi and never recovered. Within a few months I'd hired Kita and Rita Menu to MC my birthday. I once hired Miss Trinity Ice to literally drag a friend out of her workplace on her last day. I love drag. I love that this country is full of it, mostly hidden in plain sight.

Why DragRadar exists

Because I was missing shows. Following every queen on Instagram. Bookmarking event pages across Humanitix, Eventbrite, Eventfinda and the venue sites. Still missed more than I found.

DragRadar puts every drag show in one place. Performers, venues, dates, tickets, all bookmarkable. If that means bigger rooms for the queens and fuller weeks for the rest of us, everyone wins.

Who built it

Me. I'm also the founder of QueerSpace, the rating platform queer people in Aotearoa use to find places we feel safe. Same audience, mostly. DragRadar is the gig-listing half of the same picture.

Both projects are operated by Robinsight, my one-woman company in Aotearoa. Both will stay free for the communities they serve.

For the queens (kings, drag things)

Your page on here was likely drafted from public press, festival listings and your IG bio so the directory wasn't empty at launch. It's yours. Hit Claim this page on your profile, DM @dragradar.nz from your performer Instagram, and once verified you can edit your bio, photos, socials and bookings details yourself. Don't want a page at all? Same DM, no questions, it's gone.

Add a show

Most shows arrive here automatically through the scraping pipeline. Eventfinda, Humanitix, partner venues, performer Instagrams. If something's missing or wrong, DM @dragradar.nz and we'll sort it.
