Have you been waiting for your chance to twirl on The Imperial’s iconic stages? Join us on the last Thursday of every month for Ruby’s Rumble! An open stage for all drag, hosted by Ruby Royale. An unforgettable evening of glitz, glam, and show-stopping performances. Each performer may select one category to perform in each month- scroll down for all the details.
Table reservations are strongly encouraged for dinner, but walk-ins are more than welcome. View our menus here.
A space for performers who want to bring a USB, hit play, and turn it out! This category is non-competitive—a chance to showcase your drag without the pressure of winning, so rustle up your fans and supporters to show them what you got! 4 minutes maximum performance time.
Each month, a themed brief will be released and posted on Instagram & saved into the RUMBLE highlights on Ruby’s page.
Performers in this category will prepare acts based on the challenge, with a focus on growth, creativity, and refining their craft. 4 minutes maximum performance time. This category is competitive and will count toward the evening’s win.
Music submission must be emailed 24 hours before the event to imperial.reservations@universalhotels.com.au with your performer name & ‘Ruby’s Rumble’ in the subject line.
Theme: Celebration!
Must clearly reference celebration. Think balloons, confetti, gifts, party hats, streamers, finger food, lollies… Surprise us!

Your costume and styling should tie into the theme and tell a visual story (e.g., serving “cake couture,” “giving gift,” or a “sad sad clown”).
