Blanc de Blanc Encore

Overview

Alright, guys and dolls, ready yourselves for a night of risqué cabaret that's sure to get your heart racing. This Brisbane Festival, the Courier-Mail Spiegeltent will channel all the glitz and glamour of 1920s Paris during a fully immersive burlesque extravaganza. With toe-tapping jazz, beguiling burlesque, circus tricks, side-splitting comedy and amazing music, Blanc de Blanc Encore is the kind of party that would make Jay Gatsby jealous.

If you attended the first iteration of Blanc back in 2016, you'll remember the infectious fun and frivolity which ensued. If not, you best get a ticket this time around. Taking place from Thursday, September 5 to Saturday, September 28,  the show will feature some big international names, including singer Vanessa Renee Jordan (Postmodern Jukebox), aerial artist Reed Kelly (Cirque du Soleil) and Spencer Novich, an award-winning clown who's performed all over the globe.

Wondering who to bring along? Take date night to cheeky new heights and treat your partner to a night of edge-of-your-seat theatre; or grab your ride-or-die girlfriends — of course, don your best flapper dress, feather boa and string of pearls — and get set for an evening of captivating cabaret. But if you're a little sensitive, you might end up clutching said pearls — nudity is involved so consider this your warning.
