FROM FIRE BREATHING SIDESHOW TO GENDER BENDING AERIAL: MEET THE WICKEDLY TALENTED FRIENDS OF BERLIN’S QUEEN OF KABARETT
Uber-award-winning German kabarett superstar Bernie Dieter has unveiled the bombastic troupe of bohemians joining her for the hotly anticipated Sydney debut season of Bernie Dieter’s Club Kabarett (15 February to 12 March 2022) at the Famous Spiegeltent, First Fleet Park, The Rocks.
Club Kabarett will feature the astonishing talents of celebrated performers from across the globe including farcical showgirl J’aiMime; multi-talented, dancer, fire breather and sword swallower Jacqueline Furey; hula hooping vixen Lisa Lottie; and gender bending aerialist Matthew Pope.
Bernie and her fabulous friends will be performing in the iconic Famous Spiegeltent, the largest and most beautiful of the original antique Flemish Spiegeltents. Built in 1920, the Famous Spiegeltent was the first ever spiegeltent to hit Australian shores when it arrived in 2000 at the Adelaide Fringe Festival. It has since become a treasured mainstay at The Melbourne International Comedy Festival for over a decade and a favourite at the Sydney Festival.
The Famous Spiegeltent has housed some of the globe’s most magical festivals, events and legends like Marlene Dietrich over the years. It is the ideal arena to showcase the diverse and unique talents of Bernie Dieter and her lascivious crew of world-class entertainers to Sydney audiences.
From London’s West End to the Las Vegas strip, multi-talented and self-proclaimed ‘sexy-awkward’ starlet J’aiMime brings over 15 years of circus experience to the Famous Spiegeltent. J’aiMime has headlined internationally acclaimed shows at Las Vegas’s Sahara Casino, London’s La Clique and in Briefs International’s Club Briefs.
Known for her unique brand of glamorous eroticism, Jacqueline Furey danced her way into the hearts of audiences across the globe and now stuns with her world-renowned fire breathing and sword swallowing.
Having performed for the likes of Stephen Fry, Morgan Freeman and Samuel L. Jackson, hula hooping queen Lisa Lottie is sure to blow away Sydney spectators with her inimitable charisma and ridiculous hoop skills.
Perth-based circus artist Matthew Pope has fast become one of the most exciting artists of his generation thanks to his gender bending aerial and hypnotizing contemporary acts that combine strength, flexibility, and dynamic movement.
