Stage Out: Prague Pride Festival Talent Show
Are you an up-and-coming singer, an undiscovered drag artist, a stand-up comedian who’s actually funny—or do you have a talent our queer stage simply has to see? Then apply for Stage Out, Prague Pride Festival’s brand-new talent show.
Stage Out is a space for queer performers of all kinds. Whether it’s your first time on stage or you’re still looking for the right audience, this is your chance to shine. Anyone with a performance to share and the courage to present it in front of a jury and live audience in Pride Village is welcome to apply.
The evening will be hosted by dancer and podcast host Eliška Soukupová.
The jury features cultural journalist Jana Pakočka Patočková and influencer Sebastian Šikl—a panel ready to recognise genuine queer talent.
And if performing isn’t your thing, come cheer on brave new artists, discover fresh talent, and be part of a night that could mark the beginning of someone’s dream career—or at the very least, their best performance yet.
How to get on stage
To apply, fill in the application form with a few basic details about yourself and send us a video of your performance (maximum 5 minutes). The application deadline is 26 July.
We swear on the rainbow unicorn that we’ll do our very best to give everyone who applies a chance to perform. Only if the number of applications exceeds the evening’s generously planned running time will we make a selection. If that happens, our priority will be to create the most diverse line-up possible.

Organized by – Prague Pride Festival
Prague Pride Festival showcases queer art, discusses important contemporary topics, and connects queer people, allies, and the wider public. Part of the festival programme is created and produced by the organising team itself, while the rest is brought to life by nonprofit and cultural organisations, collectives, and passionate individuals who help make Prague Pride the largest queer event in the Czech Republic. The theme of Prague Pride Festival 2026 is “Times Are Changing.”
