Hosted by Victoria Falconer

Thirsty for a fabulous night out? Let the hottest cabaret troupe out of Australia take care of that for you. For our most intoxicating Spiegeltent season yet, we’re pinching ourselves that we’ve lured the queen of late-night variety, Victoria Falconer — award-winning performer, musician, MC and one of the most in-demand artists on the scene — across the ditch for a late summer of fast-and-frisky, saucy-as-hell, anything-goes circus-style cabaret. She’s joined by her specially curated dream team of drag, burlesque, aerial and acrobatic stars, including some handpicked guests from our own backyard, and a rock ‘n’ roll live band to help you tear up the night!

SMASHED – The Nightcap is a cabaret, circus and live music variety act. It is a follow-up to SMASHED – The Brunch Party. Based in Sydney, co-creator Victoria Falconer is a performing artist, multi-instrumentalist and musical director of Filipina-English heritage. On stage she leads a cast of six circus, drag and burlesque performers, with support from a four-piece band. As the house show at the Spiegeltent – the Festival’s traditional pop-up tent venue in Aotea Square — SMASHED runs for two-and-a-half weeks, from opening night through to the closing of AAF.
