A DRUG CALLED FAME

Cabaret • Comedy
Victoria

Powerhouse performer Clare Elizabeth Dea stars in this hilarious cabaret that delves deep into the intoxicating allure of recognition. Grappling with post-wedding blues and the pressures of impending motherhood, 'wanna be' diva seeks solace in chocolate, Netflix & social media. 

But her true escape? This comedy show!

Let’s put all of us in the spotlight and jazz hands our way through rehab with some Liza Minnelli meets Brene Brown.

Inspired by Steven Spielberg's TV show 'Smash' and Clare's personal pregnancy journey, this solo show is a blend of Broadway hits, 12 step parodies & captivating storytelling.

Directed by Andi Snelling, 'A Drug Called Fame' promises a rollercoaster of emotions, from laughter to tears, and moments that'll make you exclaim, "Did she really just say that."

Extremely passionate about authentic expression, storytelling and connection, audiences rave about her ability to move them so deeply.

“That was seriously one of the most brilliant performances I have ever seen” Benjamin Harvey.

Clare was born with rare congenital condition 'Polands Syndrome,' where her left hand side of her body is smaller than the right. Born with no left pec, her left breast never developed. With so much shame she didn't tell anyone until 28.

She now shares her story to help others with body shame in comedy cabarets around Australia.
