Shows on sale!

We’re excited to share our 2021 program! From the darkness of lockdowns, the creative energy and spirit of our cabaret performers have been at play, germinating fresh ideas, music and stories. They can’t wait to get back on stage, and we know that’s exactly where you want them.

Almost every show in the Festival is brand new! There’s a great mix of shows featuring music from your favourite singers such as Annie Lennox, Aretha Franklin and Billie Holiday, mixed with shows featuring exciting original songs.

There’s a host of brand new performers you’ll be able to claim with pride ‘I saw them first’, mixed with iconic, established names – truly the best in the biz.

Check out the program here, brought to you with the support of the City of Stonnington. Pictured below, the incredible Prinnie Stevens in LADY SINGS THE BLUES, photo By John Mcrae.

Cabaret is back!

After an abysmal 2020, we’re prepping for our 2021 boutique festival, Wed 16 to Sun 27 June.  

Our largest source of revenue is ticket income. In 2020, due to lockdowns that totalled the princely sum of zero. In 2021, we’re facing dual challenges of reduced venue capacities and a reduction in the number of permissible shows presented in the one night. If you’re able, please make a tax deductible donation to enable us to proceed this year.

Alternatively – or heck, do both! – become a paid-up Festival Friend and reap the rewards.

If you’re a performer or producer head here for more info on how to take part in the festival.
