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!

The Queen of Adelaide Fringe is back...it’s the best concept of a show I’ve seen at Fringe in a long time. - Hi Fi Way
Tash York’s Chaos Cabaret is worth repeated viewings. - GLAM Adelaide
