About this show
Join kabarett provocateur Bernie Dieter as her gin-soaked haus band soundtracks a debauched night of breathtaking circus, gender-bending aerial and fire-breathing sideshow at its most rebellious and hilarious best. Club Kabarett is more than just a show; 'it's an exuberant, juicy, guns-blazing performance that makes other cabarets look stale and tame' (ArtsHub.com.au). A triumphant middle finger held up against the mundane, this wickedly funny show is a life-affirming lightning bolt of pure, unadulterated joy! 'F#?king phenomenal' * (TheAge.com.au). 'Gloriously decadent and outrageously indecent' * (WhatsOnStage.com). 'Deliciously debaucherous, salacious Spiegeltent spectacular' * (Time Out).

It’s Club Kabarett’s tender and optimistic heart that ends up being the most defiant thing about it.
— Broadway Baby (5 out of 5 stars)
International cabaret star Bernie Dieter returns to the Fringe with her spectacular line up of performers. Prepare for full frontal nudity, bodily fluids and death-defying stunts, all wrapped in sequins and served with…
Bernie Dieter curates a variety show that never lets you down. It is filled with stunning acts, brilliant messages and superb music. My only hope is that this comes back to the Fringe again, for years and years to come.
