Bernie Dieter’s Club Kabarett

  • Theatre
  • Nightlife

Following a phenomenal sell-out season in 2025, Club Kabarett returns to North Melbourne’s iconic Meat Market.

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. The audience 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.
