Tickle and Tease, A Comedy Cabaret takes over The Sydney Fringe Festival here at the Entertainment Quarter

 

Tickle and Tease, A Comedy Cabaret brings the shine to The Sydney Fringe Festival, here at the Entertainmet Quarter. Find them in our Fool’s Paradise from 11th – 26th September.

A wild comedy cabaret, the late-night laugh you needed.

Expect rotating casts, big props and unapologetic chaos.

A variety show perfect for anyone who likes their late-night Fringe served hot, camp, and a little unhinged.

Tickle and Tease is a chaotic comedy variety show where burlesque, drag, and circus combust in a rotating lineup of pure, unfiltered fun. Every show is a new beast — a hand-picked mix of Australia’s boldest cabaret creatures, bringing you everything from seductive striptease to comedy lip-sync battles and outrageous aerial acts.
Think big wigs, bigger props, and unpredictable laughs.
We’re talking burlesque gone off the rails, drag with a punchline, and circus skills served with a side of sass. No two nights are the same, but every performance is packed with cheek, charm and ridiculous talent.
Perfect for a late-night laugh, a cheeky date, or that friend who “isn’t sure about burlesque” (don’t worry, they’ll be screaming by act two). Grab a drink, find your seat, and prepare to hoot, holler and howl your way through the weirdest hour of your week.
Expect the unexpected. Embrace the mess.
….And whatever you do, don’t sit in the front row if you’re shy.
