Overview

If you've caught more than one or two shows at South Bank's Queensland Performing Arts Centre in your time, as every Brisbanite has, then you've likely watched a thing or two at its Cremorne Theatre. But you've probably never seen the space like it will be at The Kaye Hole, the new performance by cabaret star Reuben Kaye — which is turning the venue into a cocktail-slinging speakeasy.

Those libations will pair well with the show's blend of circus, comedy, burlesque and drag — and cabaret, of course — which is firmly an adults-only affair. While sipping, you can say cheers to a performer who's nabbed the Best Cabaret Awards at Fringe World Perth and Adelaide Fringe Festival 2021, and also earned a nomination for the most outstanding show at last year's Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

Kaye will unleash his cabaret variety act with a little help from his friends, which include fellow cabaret star Tina Del Twist, dance and fire artist Jacqueline Furey, aerialist and contortionist Ashleigh Roper, pole dancer Charlie Love, beat box artist Hope One, performance artist Leah Shelton and the THICC shake crew's drag artists and dancers.

You can check out their delights from Thursday–Sunday until Saturday, February 12, with 8pm shows every night except Sunday and 4pm gigs each weekend as well.
