Cabaret, Midsumma Festival

Milo Hartill: Black, Fat & F**gy


Part cabaret, part song-cycle and part influencer-takeover, Black, Fat & F**gy is a tonic for our times and a queer Black fantasia that will leave audiences screaming with joy.


  • Dates 4 - 5 February

  • Times 8pm

  • Ticket prices See below

At the centre of the Venn diagram of queer, chunky, brown women with the voice of a goddamn angel, you’ll find the terrifying talent that is Milo Hartill.

How do you tell the story of a mixed race, fat, bisexual, underwear model, performer and Instagram influencer? You sing the shit out of a fistful of killer songs in a brand spanking new cabaret of course. Stradling pretty much all of the hottest 2026 minorities (take that as you will), Milo’s unique perspective has her perfectly placed to unpack the NOW.

In BFF, she delves into personal stories, belts out songs ranging from Mousse T to Whitney Houston, and kicks around some undoubtedly controversial opinions on the current state of the influencer, theatre and modelling scenes in Australia. BFF is an autobiographical show that traces the defining moments of Hartill’s life as a Black, fat and queer person who grew up all over Australia.

This will be Milo’s fifth and most refined version of Black, Fat & F**gy, and the final showing in Melbourne – this is not a show to miss.

Presented by Midsumma Festival & Milo Hartill

    Time Out Sydney
  • This is NOT a show to miss, so grab your black, fat and f**gy friends and get them down to The Rechabite ASAP.

  • Book in with Hartill if you want to start a big gay night out with a guaranteed standing O (I’d put a wink emoji here if I could).

    Kate Cameron for NSFQueers
  • Black, Fat & F**gy is an unapologetically explicit love letter to people of colour, fatness, and the queer community.
