immense vocal talent, riotous original songs, and debaucherous mayhem

The critically acclaimed show is once again led by the undisputed queen of Weimar kabarett, Bernie Dieter . Renowned for her immense vocal talent, riotous original songs, and flair for debaucherous mayhem, Dieter has been stunning, arousing, and terrifying audiences and critics worldwide for over a decade! Inspired by the pre-war burgeoning Weimar kabarett scene of 1920s Berlin, this return season of Club Kabarett is a wild, modern-day den of iniquity—a gender-bending space celebrating sexual freedom and difference at a time of great division.

More than just a show, it’s a triumphant revolt against the mundane! Melbourne audiences will be astounded, shocked, and entertained by an electrifying collection of the most exceptional cabaret artists in the world. This decadent and daring experience is a lightning bolt of pure, unadulterated, life-affirming joy!

Mistress of Mayhem, Bernie Dieter said, “I am so excited to be back at the glorious Meat Market in Melbourne. The season last year was just electric, filled with packed houses, and so many gorgeous humans. Melbourne is also one of my favourite cities in the world so it’s always amazing to perform there. I cannot wait! Club Kabarett stars the deliciously salacious and immensely talented, Bernie Dieter, alongside her live band of legendary misfits and the renowned cast including contortionists, sword swallowers, fire breathers, international tap dancers and incredible aerialists – all set to the soundtrack of Bernie’s incredible vocals and her debauched gin-soaked haus band. The show will play from Tuesday to Sunday, welcoming people from all walks of life to Melbourne’s historic Meat Market .

Blending a menagerie of leather, sequins, satire, and a cut-throat wit, Club Kabarett is an international sensation!

In the last few years, this cabaret icon and her international assortment of bombastic bohemians have headlined the Auckland Festival , and the Sziget Festival in Budapest. They also enjoyed a critically acclaimed three-month season in London’s West End and a sell-out 2025 season at Melbourne’s Meat Market and most recently a critically acclaimed season as the headline show in The Garden of Unearthly Delights in Adelaide.

But be warned, this limited season will sell-out fast, so please don’t be left crying into your feather boas – secure your seats now!
