Sydney Fringe collaboration secures Bernie Dieter's Club Kabarett in the Spiegeltent

Sydney Fringe have collaborated with Australian independent concert and touring company Zaccaria, Dead Man Label and the New South Wales Government through Placemaking NSW to secure Bernie Dieter's Club Kabarett in the Spiegeltent - popping up from 15th February to 12th March at First Fleet Park - situated between the Museum of Contemporary Art and Circular Quay. The Sydney debut season comes direct from London's West End.

A world-renowned Queen of Kabarett, Dieter’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe show (2019) was the ‘Top 5 best reviewed shows’ out of over 3800 and debuted in London to eighteen five-star reviews in the same year. 

Kerri Glasscock, Chief Executive Sydney Fringe enthuses “we are absolutely thrilled to be joining forces with Placemaking NSW, Zaccaria and Dead Man Label to bring Sydney this incredible show, and their first ever Bernie Dieter experience.”

Anita Mitchell, Chief Executive Placemaking NSW added “2022 is shaping up to be a cracking year with great opportunities for people to come back to the city and socialise after a long lockdown. Arts and live performances are coming back with a bang. We are excited to be partnering with The Sydney Fringe once again, which will continue to position The Rocks as a great place for Sydneysiders to socialise.”

For the first time Sydney audiences are invited into the darkest, funniest and most debauched kabarett show East of Berlin. A gin-soaked, Weimar-punk jazz band soundtracks a hazy, immersive night of dangerously funny kabarett, gender-bending circus and fire-breathing sideshow at its most inappropriate, provocative and hilarious best.

Described as being “an electrifying cross between Lady Gaga, Marlene Dietrich and Frank-N-Futer in sequins”, Dieter has cemented herself as one of the standout kabarett artists of her generation, blending dangerously funny original songs, sequins and a deviant eye for debaucherous mayhem.

Bernie Dieter advises “like the notorious kabarett clubs of Weimar Germany, this show is the ultimate party at the end of the world, where my family of misfits and I stick a defiant middle finger up at the past two years and celebrate freedom and difference in all its forms. Come and play.”

Tickets are on sale from Thursday 16 December at sydneyfringe.com/events/bernie-dieters-club-kabarett/. Get in quick, Sydneysiders should not miss their chance to party with this German über-star in the New Year!
