Adelaide Cabaret Festival Artistic Director Virginia Gay:

Absolutely thrilled to be hosting this night of nights and introducing our glorious Adelaide audiences to an incredible array of local and international talent.

The gala is always one of the most exciting nights of the festival calendar, so dress up, come along, and I’ll catch you in the foyer afterwards for a glass of something snazzy.

Put on your cabaret best, come as you are (or as you long to be) and join us for a night to remember!
