So Soiree

Overview

Prahran's Grattan Gardens and nearby performance space Chapel Off Chapel are set to score an 11-day serve of cabaret, comedy, circus and music, as arts festival So Soiree kicks off its next edition.

Running from December 2–12, it'll see the park reborn as pop-up performance space The Parlour, complete with neon lights, beer gardens and a spiegeltent. That's set to play host to a diverse program of goodness — from side-splitting theatre-comedy courtesy of emerging talent Josh Glanc, to a raunchy fusion of cabaret and burlesque acrobatics descending on the stage for Blunderland.

The Wine Bluffs bring more laughs with their take on an interactive wine masterclass, and you'll catch an unnerving amount of neon spandex when Werk It - Tight Fit delivers its high-energy blend of acrobatics, comedy and circus skills.

Throw in some good old-fashioned stand-up from names like Zöe Coombs Marr, Dave Thornton and Claire Hooper, and you've got yourself a very colourful start to the summer arts season.
