Once relegated to just a paltry page or two in Fringe Festival programs, and overshadowed by other performing art forms such as comedy and theatre, over the past 10 to 15 years the Australian cabaret sector has come into its own. Dedicated cabaret festivals thrive in many of our major cities, and cabaret artists draw large and loyal crowds at the likes of Perth’s Fringe World and Hobart’s Festival of Voices.
