Have a gay old time with Magda

M *agda Szubanski *has urged us to dust off our sequined onesies as she prepares to co-host the Mardi Gras broadcast.

The actress will front the SBS1 telecast of the colourful Sydney parade alongside comedian *Tom Ballard *and reporter *Patrick Abboud *.

"It's the party to end all parties and everyone is welcome to join in," Szubanski said.

"So get your bedazzlers ready, pop on your sequined onesies - Australia, it's time to get your gay on . . . I know I will."

Szubanski, right, came out on Valentine's Day three years ago. She then wrote to newspapers calling for marriage equality.

The Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras will be broadcast on SBS1 from 8.30pm on March 8.
