WINNER ‘BEST COMEDY’ FRINGE WORLD 2017 WINNER ‘BEST COMEDY’ ADELAIDE FRINGE WEEKLY 2017 Australian Times
‘I’m not quite sure what just happened but whatever it was, it was hilariously ingenious’ / The Clothesline
‘Superb character comedy’ / Australian Times
‘Glanc’s delivery is spectacular’ / The Music
Don’t miss the return season of last year’s smash hit sell-out show that Perth couldn’t get enough of and won the 2017 Best Comedy award. Josh Glanc’s show is an exhilarating mash up of sketches, characters and songs that ‘will see you shaking your head while laughing uncontrollably” The Advertiser Listed as one of the must see comics / Herald Sun, 2017
‘Magnificent, be amazed, be appalled and be blown away’ / Weekend Notes
‘Bernie’s voice is sublime, and her wit sharp. You can’t take your eyes off her. Improper, seductive and hilarious’ / This is Radelaide
‘A feast of feathers, nudity and sidesplitting comedy’ / Glam Adelaide
‘Hilarious original songs, brilliant, not to be missed’ / InDaily
Hosted by the deliciously salacious, utterly hilarious, uber-award winning Queen of kink Bernie Dieter. She has stunned, aroused and terrified audiences from Berlin to Hong Kong with her gin-soaked lascivious charm- blending dangerously funny songs, sequins and satire with a cut-throat wit and a deviant eye for debaucherous mayhem! With a rotating hand picked line up of the hottest international stars, step inside, take a shot of something strong, and prepare to be seduced, astounded and to possibly have your head licked. No fourth wall, no rules, no seat is safe, this is hangover inducing Kabarett at its most inappropriate and hilarious best.
