‘We’re bringing back the dazzle: it’s all about a new venue, new innovations and new acts – we’re a revitalised festival returning after a bruising three years,’ says Melbourne Cabaret Festival producer Neville Sice.
Sice and his partner David Read also program cabaret shows at festivals outside of Melbourne, such as Perth’s Fringe World, where their productions have also been heavily impacted in recent years due to border closures, lockdowns and the like.
