The luscious, legendary, velvet-trimmed, burlesque-eats-its-young Salon that has set critics raving in ten languages and 55,000 audience members around the world in raptures, comes to Brisbane!
Grab your mistletoe! Book a table, and POP the champagne! This is a Christmas show like no other!
The worldwide cult sensation where circus and sideshow, showgirl and showstopper, striptease and cartoon strip, boho and butoh, music-hall and gothic-mayhem are hijacked by astonishing performance art divas.
Internationally acclaimed Mistress of Grand Guignol Moira Finucane; Japanese shock cabaret artiste Yumi Umiumare; circus siren Azaria Universe; elegant iconoclast Maude Davey; and local legend, the darling of dance with a dark twist Brian Lucas as you have never seen him before.
The Italians gave it 10 standing ovations. Edinburgh gave it 5 stars. It stormed Slovenia’s major cultural centre, and sold three times the tickets available in Rijeka. Tokyo hipsters crowded the Yokohama waterfront, Hungarians went wild, while New Zealanders cheered and gasped.
Moira Finucane has been nominated for a Helpmann award for Best Cabaret Performer!! Congratulations Moira!
"From the sublime to the subversive, the hot to the hilarious … outrageous and unforgettable" London Times

This event is recommended for ages 18+. Nudity and strong language.
