If a galaxy-saving adventure involving an introverted princess, her bounty-hunter ex-girlfriend, and a villainous group called the Straight White Maliens sounds like your kind of chaos, Lesbian Space Princess has you covered. The 2025 Australian adult animated sci-fi comedy follows Princess Saira on a mission across the galaxy, blending queer romance, absurd comedy, and colorful space adventure.

But the film's eccentric world is powered by an equally entertaining voice cast. From The Pitt star Shabana Azeez and Heartbreak High's Gemma Chua-Tran to Australian comedy icons Aunty Donna and veteran actor Richard Roxburgh, the ensemble brings plenty of familiar voices and faces to the animated universe.

And if one is coming to Lesbian Space Princess after spotting its stars elsewhere, here is where you know them from.

Shabana Azeez as Princess Saira

Shabana Azeez voices Princess Saira, the introverted royal at the center of Lesbian Space Princess. After her bounty-hunter ex-girlfriend Kiki is captured, Saira sets off on a galactic mission to rescue her, forcing the reluctant princess far outside her comfort zone. Azeez's performance gives Saira the awkward, emotionally vulnerable energy that makes her journey especially endearing. As Saira navigates an increasingly bizarre galaxy, her quiet personality creates a fun contrast with the film's loud and chaotic sense of humor.

Her journey also gives Azeez plenty of room to balance comedy with the more heartfelt moments of Saira's relationship with Kiki.

Shabana Azeez's role in The Pitt has brought her work to a wider international audience, particularly as the acclaimed medical drama continues to gain attention. Her performances across comedy and drama also highlight the versatility she brings to Princess Saira in Lesbian Space Princess. Her growing screen presence has made her a talent worth watching, particularly as she takes on increasingly varied roles. For viewers discovering her through the animated film, The Pitt offers a very different showcase of Azeez's acting range.

Bernie Van Tiel as Kiki the Destroyer

Bernie Van Tiel voices Kiki the Destroyer, Saira's ex-girlfriend and the bounty hunter whose predicament sets the story in motion. Compared with the more introverted Saira, Kiki brings a very different kind of energy to their complicated relationship, making their reunion one of the film's central dynamics. Her confident, adventurous persona provides a lively counterpoint to Saira's more reserved nature. Their contrasting personalities also add plenty of humor and emotional tension to the film's central romance.

Van Tiel is known for starring as the titular character in the web series Jade of Death. She also played Tegan in the Australian comedy series Class of '07 and appeared as Aisha in Swift Street, giving viewers plenty of opportunities to recognize her work beyond the animated film.  Her television credits showcase her ability to move between comedy and drama with ease. That range makes her a fitting choice to bring Kiki's bold personality and emotional complexity to life through voice acting.

Gemma Chua-Tran as Willow

Gemma Chua-Tran lends her voice to Willow, another member of Saira's colorful circle. While the character exists within the film's wonderfully strange cosmic world, Chua-Tran's television work may make her instantly recognizable to viewers of contemporary Australian teen drama. Her addition to the ensemble brings another familiar Australian screen talent into the film's eccentric intergalactic setting. It also gives fans of her previous work a chance to hear her take on a very different kind of character.

She is best known for playing Sasha So in Netflix's Heartbreak High, the reboot of the beloved Australian series. Chua-Tran previously appeared as Anusha in Mustangs FC, further establishing her connection to Australian television before joining the voice cast of Lesbian Space Princess. Her work on these shows has helped her build a strong presence in Australia's younger-skewing television landscape. With Lesbian Space Princess, she adds an animated sci-fi comedy to an increasingly varied list of credits.

Richard Roxburgh as the Problematic Ship

One of the film's most memorable characters is quite literally a ship. Richard Roxburgh voices the Problematic Ship, also referred to simply as the Ship, adding his distinctive voice to one of the movie's more unusual supporting roles. The character's unusual nature fits perfectly with the film's offbeat approach to sci-fi comedy. Roxburgh's experience with both dramatic and comedic roles also makes him a fitting choice for such an unconventional character.

Roxburgh is one of Australia's most recognizable actors, best known for playing Cleaver Greene in Rake. International audiences may also know him as the Duke in Moulin Rouge!, Count Dracula in Van Helsing, and from Mission: Impossible 2. More recently, he portrayed Vernon Presley in Elvis and Bob Hawke in The Crown. Roxburgh's extensive career has seen him move effortlessly between television, blockbuster films, and character-driven dramas. His ability to balance intensity with dry humor also makes his voice performance in Lesbian Space Princess another entertaining addition to his diverse filmography.

Kween Kong as Blade

Drag performer Kween Kong voices Blade in Lesbian Space Princess. Born Thomas Charles Fonua, Kween Kong is a New Zealand-born Australian drag artist, dancer, choreographer, and performer whose larger-than-life stage presence makes her a natural fit for the film's wildly theatrical universe. Her background across drag and dance brings an energetic performance style to the animated character. Blade also adds another layer of queer representation to the film's predominantly queer cast.

Fans of reality competition television may recognize Kween Kong from RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under, where she was a runner-up in Season 2. She later competed on RuPaul's Drag Race Global All Stars. Outside drag, she has also worked professionally in dance, including with Black Grace and Australian Dance Theatre. Her experience on stage and screen has helped establish her as a versatile performer beyond the drag competition format. Her appearance in Lesbian Space Princess adds an animated feature credit to an already diverse creative career.

Aunty Donna as the Straight White Maliens

The Straight White Maliens may have one of the most deliberately ridiculous names in the movie, and the comedy trio Aunty Donna provides the voices behind them. Mark Samual Bonanno, Zachary Ruane, and Broden Kelly play the characters, with the trio bringing their trademark absurdist comedy to the film's antagonistic aliens. Their involvement fits neatly with the film's irreverent sense of humor and willingness to turn familiar sci-fi ideas on their head. The trio's comedic timing also gives the film's villains an intentionally exaggerated and chaotic personality.

Aunty Donna became widely known through their surreal sketch comedy and YouTube work before starring in Netflix's Aunty Donna's Big Ol' House of Fun. They later appeared in the ABC series Aunty Donna's Coffee Cafe. Their involvement makes Lesbian Space Princess an especially fun crossover for fans of Australian comedy. Their signature blend of absurdity and quick-fire humor feels right at home in the film's deliberately chaotic universe.

The trio's presence also adds another recognizable layer to the movie's eclectic Australian comedy talent.

Jordan Raskopoulos as Queen Leanne

Jordan Raskopoulos voices Queen Leanne, adding another familiar Australian comedy performer to the ensemble. Raskopoulos has worked across comedy, acting, music, and writing, with a career that stretches well beyond the animated world of Lesbian Space Princess. Their experience across multiple forms of entertainment makes them a natural fit for the film's playful and unconventional tone.

Queen Leanne also gives Raskopoulos another opportunity to bring their comedic sensibility to a colorful animated character.

Raskopoulos is best known for The Ronnie Johns Half Hour and as the lead singer of comedy rock group The Axis of Awesome. Their acting credits include Underground: The Julian Assange Story and I Am Woman, making Queen Leanne another eclectic addition to an already unconventional cast. Their work with The Axis of Awesome further highlights their ability to combine comedy and performance in unexpected ways. For fans familiar with Raskopoulos' earlier work, the role offers yet another chance to see their distinctive creative style in action.

Madeleine Sami as Queen Anne

Madeleine Sami voices Queen Anne, bringing her considerable comedy and acting experience to the film's royal ensemble. Sami is a New Zealand-born performer who has built a reputation for playing sharp, eccentric, and memorable characters across television and film. Her knack for combining deadpan humor with larger-than-life characters makes her a fitting addition to the film's unconventional royal cast. Her performance adds another layer of comedic personality to the movie's already colorful ensemble.

She is particularly well known for playing Detective Eddie Redcliffe in the Australian comedy series Deadloch. Sami also created and starred in Super City and co-wrote, co-directed, and starred in The Breaker Upperers. International audiences may recognize her from Our Flag Means Death, Sione's Wedding and What We Do in the Shadows. Her work behind the camera also highlights her versatility as a creator, not just a performer. With Lesbian Space Princess, Sami adds another offbeat comedy credit to an already distinctive body of work.

More Voices in Lesbian Space Princess

The film's ensemble does not stop with its principal cast. Reuben Kaye voices Safety Bubble, while comedian Demi Lardner plays DNM Girl, alongside additional supporting and ensemble performers who help fill out Saira's bizarre intergalactic adventure. These smaller roles add even more personality to the film's already unconventional universe. They also help ensure that even the supporting characters feel distinct within the story's colorful cosmic setting.

Together, the cast reflects the film's distinctly Australian and New Zealand comedic identity. With actors, comedians, drag performers, and television favorites sharing the microphone, Lesbian Space Princess has assembled a voice ensemble that is almost as colorful as its galaxy. The mix of established performers and rising talents gives the animated comedy a particularly eclectic appeal. For audiences exploring the cast after watching the film, there is plenty of familiar work to discover across Australian and New Zealand entertainment.
