Welcome to the party! 

The nightcap of Adelaide Cabaret Festival isn’t served neat. Oh no, it’s a messy, wild, joyfully chaotic lineup of legends and looseness in a never-to-be-repeated shindig.

These late-night cavalcades of mayhem and mischief are a quintessential festival experience, then let your hair down, and dance into the night with our resident DJs.

This is your chance for future-you to be smug and say “Oh, I was there when…” 


Circus, silliness, and seduction

The Parlour - Victoria Falconer

Fri 6 - Sat 7 June

A lush and glittering after hours playground where cabaret’s most fabulous welcome you to the chaise longue. Hosted by the glorious Victoria Falconer, The Parlour delivers circus, songs, silliness, and seduction in this spectacular late-night salon.

It’s a sexy, funny variety night with cabaret royalty at the helm.


Quizzes, games, and scavenger hunts

There Is Nothing Like A Game! - Gillian Cosgriff

Fri 13 - Sat 14 June

Beloved cabaret star and musical comedian Gillian Cosgriff brings you a late-night show with killer music, special guests, and the choice for you, the audience, to be part of the late night chaos.

Quizzes, games, scavenger hunts and more abound in this (optionally) interactive games night, featuring guests from across the festival and a three-piece band. 


Mischief, mayhem, and cake

25th Birthday Party

Fri 20 - Sat 21 June

Every festival late night is a party, but this is our actual birthday — we’re turning 25!

Our parents are away, we’ve got the house to ourselves, and we’re having all our favourite people over.

There’ll be mischief, mayhem, and cake. And if Virginia gets her way… she might pop out of that cake!
