Feast Festival, Adelaide’s celebration of queer arts and culture, is now in its 18th year, but 2014 marks only the first time the festival has been fully programmed. The resulting program features a diverse range of performers from Australia and overseas, including comedians Hannah Gadsby and Bob Downe; Australian entertainment legend Carlotta; Feast Ambassador and gold-winning Olympian Matthew Mitcham, whose cabaret debut Twists and Turns is also an award-winner; and from Cape Town, Odidiva (the alter-ego of Cape Town performer Odidi Mfenyana) in a cabaret show blending song, slam poetry, stand-up and social commentary, and exploring the contemporary queer experience from a uniquely South African perspective.
