This year the award was presented to South Australia’s own “international superstar” Matt Gilbertson – Hans.

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!

Produced and presented by Adelaide Festival Centre, Adelaide Cabaret Festival has grown from modest beginnings in 2001 to become Australia’s major winter festival and the largest cabaret festival in the world.

The festival has been a platform for shows and performers who have achieved critical acclaim and featured world-renowned artists including Ms Lisa Fischer, Kristin Chenoweth, Idina Menzel, Dita Von Teese, and Tim Minchin to name a few.
