Last night Hayu hosted the world premiere of their first-ever locally produced content series, Loud + Proud with Justin Hill,which is now available to stream exclusively on Hayu across 40+ markets globally.
Shining a light on the Australian LGBTQIA+ community and their stories, this original series, hosted by Justin Hill, consists of six seven-minute episodes, aiming to spark meaningful conversations, as well as inspiring and educating viewers. Loud + Proud with Justin Hill brings together the ultimate line-up of Australian LGBTQIA+ icons and allies, including Samantha Jade, Jack Vidgen, Alfie Arcuri, Mitch & Mark, Carla from Bankstown, Deni Todorovic, Etcetera Etcetera, Dominique Topp and James Devlin.
Guests were treated to an exclusive pink carpet experience at Beta Bar in Sydney – complete with podium dancers, themed waiters in metallic pink shorts and cosmopolitans. Kicking off the evening on the ‘Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen’ inspired stage was a special performance by Samantha Jade which got everyone out of their seats dancing to her smash hit, Firestarter.
The atmosphere was electric when Justin Hill then approached the stage to welcome guests and inviting reality king Andy Cohen on to the stage for a tell-all Q&A where they discussed everything from forging your own path in life, the idea of chosen family, and even having Lisa Vanderpump as the Grand Marshall for the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras.
