Who is Bernie Dieter? Only the darkest, funniest kabarett superstar east of Berlin.
Strutting her way to Aotearoa for a salacious, gin-soaked, punk-jazz season of unfiltered circus and cabaret, the undisputed Queen of Weimar Punk is here to celebrate the sexual freedom and daredevil exhibitionism of 1920s underground club culture.
Inspired by the Weimar republic’s celebration of difference at a time of political turmoil, and her Oma’s stories of life in a travelling circus, Bernie is a world-class example of a modern kabarett diva, in all of her dangerously satirical and promiscuous glory.
Be mesmerised with a hauntingly beautiful ballad one moment and roaring with laughter the next. Dieter blends soaring vocals, sequins, and lascivious charm in an evening where there are no rules, and no seat is safe in this dark and defiant den of iniquity.
Come for dangerous acrobatics and fire-breathing antics, stay for Dieter’s amazing songs, live haus band and family of misfit performers. A sell-out attraction on London’s West End, Club Kabarett promises everything you’d ever want from a top-tier cabaret spectacle – and between its filthy theatrics, witty musicality and outrageous circus acts, so much more.
