Adore Händel’s Cautionary Tales

Everyone’s favorite pansexual, time-travelling songbird is back, as Adore Händel returns to the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

This time, the incorrigible 18th-century raconteur isn’t just sharing tales of conquest – they’re warning of the perils of passion, the dangers of desire, and the romantic disasters even a seasoned time-traveller couldn’t predict.

From heartbreak in the Renaissance to ruin in the Roaring Twenties, Adore opens their diary once more with cautionary tales every lover should know: passion gone wrong, trust betrayed and lessons learned the hard way across centuries.

Blending opera, operetta, pop classics with a classical twist, and original songs, Cautionary Tales promises enchantment, scandal and laughter. Adore’s velvety baritone brings beloved standards and new works to life with wit, drama and 18th-century glam.
