See these hornbags for Christmas in cabaret style

Dim the lights, tune that piano and crank up the spot, cabaret is officially back! This long lost art form is making a comeback in Australia and audiences are soaking up every minute of it. Sydney, long held to be the central hub of cabaret theatre, is seeing patrons pouring into some of the city’s chicest spots to enjoy dinner with an extra bit of “sauce” – cabaret style. In financially gloomier times, Sydney-siders are looking for new distractions and entertainment. Many are opting for “staycations” as an alternative to domestic or overseas travel. A Sydney cabaret dinner is just one of the many options available for locals and travellers looking for something “a little bit different”.

Christmas is just around the corner and these foxy ladies are celebrating it in style. Kath and Kim: A Christmas Comedy Cabaret features the comic genius of Lesley Hancock, Rose Hancock and Trevor Ashley. Let these classy ladies show you what happy holidays are all about!

Acts like this one are very popular at Café 212 in Surry Hills, located on the street level of the Quality Hotel Cambridge. The home of Sydney’s first five star restaurant, Café 212 is still the “it” spot when it comes to quality dining. (Meanwhile the Quality Hotel Cambridge offers great accommodation in one of the hippest suburbs in Sydney.)

Cabaret is a traditional art form that harks back to the 19^th century, originating from the sultry streets of Paris. A thrilling medley of comedy, song, dance and theatre, cabaret offers its patrons the opportunity to enjoy their show with a bit of fine wining and dining. Traditionally, cabaret has always had a “seedy” appeal, confined mostly to the darker recesses of city nightlife, but it has also maintained a glamorous and mysterious allure. Today, cabaret has more or less been replaced with jazz clubs and local concerts, but there are a number of venues, like Café 212 at Quality Hotel Cambridge, that still feature cabaret nights while a number of capital cities have cabaret festivals to showcase some of the nation’s top performers.

Transport yourself back to 19^th century Paris and discover the glitz, the glamour and the glorious appeal of a sassy Sydney cabaret, only at Café 212.
