Art Simone and Etcetera Etcetera will be hitting the road to live out the ultimate Priscilla fantasy on their upcoming national tour AS SEEN ON TV! which will come to the Albury Entertainment Centre on July 7.

Etcetera Etcetera said she hoped to create a safe space for people with diverse backgrounds by touring.

"I'm hoping that we can help reinforce a community of like minded individuals," she said.

'We're hoping that these events bring together all different walks of life, who all love drag and they can meet each other and see that there's other people out there.

"It can be really isolating being out in regional areas of the country and feeling like you're all alone, so for me personally, I'm really hoping that these events create inclusive spaces."

Art Simone said touring to regional areas was part of their drag mission statement.

"We feel quite connected to creating those safe spaces and fabulous events throughout regional parts," she said.

"For people who've never experienced drag before who are like I've always wanted to go to a drag show or meet a drag queen or who haven't had exposure to the culture, we've channeled a lot of the greatest hits of drag and pop culture and everything we love about performing into this show.

"It really is just a crash course in drag, you're going to come down, you're going to have a great time and you're going to have an experience that we've pulled from what our combined 15 years of drag experience has taught us, there on the stage for everyone to enjoy."

Before the live show, the duo will also host a Drag 101 make up workshop, which will allow participants to watch and learn as the stars transform.

Etcetera Etcetera said she was excited to give participants an insight into the mechanics of drag at the backstage beauty school workshop.

"Drag queens always go on tour and they do their show and then they leave and you don't really get that time outside of a nightclub or outside of a theatre to see the process of drag and see all the amazing bits that go together," she said.

"We've kind of designed [the workshop], it's almost like a YouTube tutorial in real life, people get to sit down at this wonderful make up seminar and watch us get into drag and ask questions and learn all the tips and tricks to getting fabulous in just over two hours."

But Etcetera said the workshops weren't only for people who wanted to do drag or wear make up.

"If you are just a fabulous purveyor of fine make-up-artistry or you just want to come and watch it or you want to peruse the transformation live and in person, you're more than welcome to come," she said.

"It's for absolutely everyone that has any level of interest, not only in the make up world, but the drag world as well."
