Get ready for a fabulous night out, as the hottest cabaret troupe out of Australia touches down in Auckland! In their most intoxicating Spiegeltent season yet, the queen of late-night variety, Victoria Falconer — award-winning performer, musician, MC and one of the most in-demand artists on the scene — is crossing the ditch for a late summer of fast-and-frisky, saucy-as-hell, anything-goes circus-style cabaret!

She’s joined by her specially curated dream team of drag, burlesque, aerial and acrobatic stars, including some handpicked guests from NZ’s own backyard, and a rock ‘n’ roll live band to help you tear up the night!

SMASHED – The Nightcap is a cabaret, circus and live music variety act. It is a follow-up to SMASHED – The Brunch Party. Based in Sydney, co-creator Victoria Falconer is a performing artist, multi-instrumentalist and musical director of Filipina-English heritage. On stage she leads a cast of six circus, drag and burlesque performers, with support from a four-piece band. As the house show at the Spiegeltent – the Festival’s traditional pop-up tent venue in Aotea Square — SMASHED runs for two-and-a-half weeks, from opening night through to the closing of AAF.
