Set against a pink backdrop is a group of 8 clowns in drag make-up and colourful costumes. They lean across each other, centred around a lavish chocolate cake with cigarettes. They’re indulging in the icing on their fingers and touching each other sensually.

Serving world-class circus, burlesque, and outrageous queer chaos, CAKE is set to be the messiest party since the Revolution – and you’re all invited. Seizing the means of seduction, these unmissable wonder-makers are bringing CAKE, the hot new revolt to reimagine clowns as the ruling class. It’s our party now – and the dress code is optional.

From the revered stages of La Clique, Reuben Kaye, Blunderland, Circus Oz, House of Yes (NYC), and Miss Burlesque Australia, this indulgent award-winning talent are here to tantalise, scandalise and unionise. Let them eat it!

"The hour flew and I left in a sense of awe. Not just because of the acts I saw, but because these performers own who they are. The pride they take in their art, bodies and sexuality is something to be admired. They test the boundaries and are completely free on stage. They were the icing on the cake for me." - Theatre Travels (CAKE, 2023)
