In this high‑energy finale to the 2026 Midsumma Carnival Day broadcast, Vision Australia Radio and JOY 94.9 welcome cabaret powerhouse Justin Clausen for a joyful and music‑filled conversation about his hit show He’s Every Woman.

Justin shares how the show pays tribute to some of the world’s greatest divas — Whitney, Cher, Céline, Tina, Kylie, and more — offering insight into which artists he channels most naturally and what draws him to their iconic music.

Listeners get a behind‑the‑scenes look at performing with a full eight‑piece band, including what audiences can expect from the big arrangements, the vocal stylings, and the unmistakable joy and camp spectacle that define the show.

Justin also reflects on balancing emotional power ballads with playful humour and banter, a hallmark of the production that keeps crowds engaged and on their feet. He teases standout numbers, the songs that reliably lift the room, and the diva moments that generate the most electric audience response.

The conversation touches on the magic of performing at Chapel Off Chapel, how the venue’s intimacy elevates connection with audiences, and the continued evolution of the show for its 2026 season — including a cameo by the wonderful Dolly Diamond.

Closing out a celebratory day of queer performance, community voices, and festival storytelling, this interview captures the warm humour, vocal brilliance, and big‑heart energy that make He’s Every Woman a perfect fit for Midsumma.
