Making her debut in Blood, Sweat and Glitter: A 2025 short film where she starred alongside Tony Chestnut and Carina Nebula, Evie Agnosis is a live-singing diva from another time (we’re just not sure which one) is she old Hollywood? Glam Rock? Or a third, more sinister thing? She’s here to emerge from her genesis era and manifest before you from the ribs of Adam. Out of Drag, Evie is a working professional in the Aotearoa Theatre industry, having graduated from the National Academy of Singing and Dramatic Arts with a Bachelor of Music Theatre.

Sweet Lipz

Born of ocean and ancestry, she is a radiant force where Aotearoa meets the Kingdom of Tonga, a drag queen whose presence feels both ancient and electric.Raised between the rhythms of whakapapa and the warmth of island family, she weaves Māori strength and Tongan fierceness into every strut, every look, every lip sync. Her drag is not just performance, it’s storytelling. With silhouettes inspired by traditional patterns, colors that echo the moana, and a spirit grounded in her tūpuna, she commands the stage like a living legacy. Whether she’s serving high glamour, sharp wit, or emotional depth, she carries her cultures with pride, honoring them while boldly redefining what they can look like in queer spaces. Offstage, she’s just as powerful—a voice for representation, community, and unapologetic self-expression. She creates space for other Pasifika and Māori queer artists to rise, reminding them that their identities are not contradictions, but crowns. She is beauty. She is resistance. She is lineage in heels.

Client Testimonial "Anita was the BEST choice for MC for our event, alongside the equally beautiful Lorna Riley from Coast FM who was also MC (a friend of ours). Anita and Lorna bounced jokes off one another all through the night and directed the event superbly. Anita's personality radiated throughout the room from the very moment she arrived. The nature of our event was a rather sombre one (being a fundraiser for our dear friend with terminal cancer), and Anita had this special knack of being able to change the mood in a heartbeat if there was a little too much emotion in the room. Her larger-than-life bubbliness reflected off everyone, and even the most reserved attendees were made to feel at ease and had the best night ever in her company. Anita entertained us with her outstanding sense of humour, she looked fabulous in her impeccable outfits, and we loved her singing and dancing too. Her presentation about how she became a drag queen was spectacular and we feel like we have made a new friend in her. She was inspiring, entertaining, hilarious, loving – food for the soul! We would most definitely book her again in a heartbeat. P.S. Nick is just as good looking as Anita (you rock Anita!)"
