Bernie Dieter’s CLUB KABARETT Returns To The Meat Market In 2026
Following a phenomenal, sell-out 2025 season, and due to overwhelmingdemand, Club Kabarett returns to North Melbourne’s iconic Meat Market. The critically acclaimed show is once again led by the undisputed queen of Weimar kabarett, Bernie Dieter.
Renowned for her immense vocal talent, riotous original songs, and flair for debaucherous mayhem, Dieter has been stunning, arousing, and terrifying audiences and critics worldwide for over a decade! Inspired by the pre-war burgeoning Weimar kabarett scene of 1920s Berlin, this return season of Club Kabarett is a wild, modern-day den of iniquity—a gender-bending space celebrating sexual freedom and difference at a time of great division.
More than just a show, it’s a triumphant revolt against the mundane! Melbourne audiences will be astounded, shocked, and entertained by an electrifying collection of the most exceptional cabaret artists in the world. This decadent and daring experience is a lightning bolt of pure, unadulterated, life-affirming joy!
Mistress of Mayhem, Bernie Dieter:
I am so excited to be back at the glorious Meat Market in Melbourne. The season last year was just electric, filled with packed houses, and so many gorgeous humans. Melbourne is also one of my favourite cities in the world so it’s always amazing to perform there. I cannot wait!
Club Kabarett stars the deliciously salacious and immensely talented, Bernie Dieter, alongside her live band of legendary misfits and the renowned cast including contortionists, sword swallowers, fire breathers, international tap dancers and incredible aerialists-all set to the soundtrack of Bernie’s incredible vocals and her debauched gin-soaked haus band. The show will play from Tuesday to Sunday, welcoming people from all walks of life to Melbourne’s historic Meat Market.
The message of hope and connection is wrapped up in a delicious cocktail of decadence and depravity.”★★★★★ THE AU REVIEW

Bernie Dieter has cemented herself as one of the standout kabarett artists of her generation, consistently earning raving reviews hailing her as an ‘ the grand Weimer dame of debauchery, the ringmaster of risqué’ (Limelight Magazine).
