Tash York's Chaos Cabaret

Welcome to the ultimate, improvised variety game show! A wild mix of drag, cabaret, circus, & burlesque, turned on its head with surprises no one sees coming…not even the performers!

Hosted by the grand dame of drag & cabaret, Tash York (Swamplesque, Happy Hour, Love That For You, After Hours), each night pits 3 Fringe favs against each other across 3 improvised rounds; from surprise interruptions to hilarious audience prompts & a 'lip-sync with a twist'.

With Tash as the delightfully unhinged director, it's your vote that helps shape the madness & crown the Chaos Cabaret champion—all from the comfort of your seat!

Featuring a rotating roster of icons like Memphis Mae, Trigger Happy, Millicent Sarre, & many more, no two shows are the same!

No rehearsals, completely unscripted, pure chaos!

Skip the queues! An exclusive, in-venue bar will be open and operational with drinks available for purchase throughout the show!
