I’m delighted to be selling tickets to the AJ Bell Fringe on Friday digital cabaret.

Join me for a 60-minute digital cabaret show on Friday 21 August at 9pm. The show will feature nine different acts and will go out live at 9pm BST, with tickets costing just £9 each (£1 less than the cost of the average Fringe ticket).

Every ticket you buy really will make a big difference. With very little work on the horizon for freelance artists, your support will help us all finance our shows at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2021.

Whats my show all about?

The darkest, funniest and most debauched kabarett star east of Berlin. 

Bernie Dieter has cemented herself as one of the standout cabaret artist of her generation “when it comes to cabaret, few can match the decadence, and brilliance, of Bernie Dieter” (The Herald, UK) A cross between Lady Gaga, Marlene Dietrich and Frank-N-Futer in sequins, she has stunned, aroused and terrified audiences from Berlin to Hong Kong with her gin-soaked lascivious charm. Blending dangerously funny original songs, sequins and satire with a cut-throat wit, and a deviant eye for debaucherous mayhem! The Queen of Weimar punk kabarett can mesmerise with a hauntingly beautiful ballad one moment and bring the house down with raucous laughter the next.

'DIETER DELIVERS A MASTERPIECE OF STORYTELLING AND ARTISTRY THAT TUGS AT THE HEART - AND THE TEAR DUCTS…A LIFE-AFFIRMING HOUR OF RIBALD REVOLUTION. LET THE FREAK FLAG FLY! — THE LONDONIST

Born in Köln, Germany she grew up listening to her Oma’s (Grandmother) many stories of life in a travelling circus in East Germany and the time her family smuggled her into the West, in a caravan hidden under piles of sequinned costumes. Inspired by the Weimar republic’s dens of iniquity, gender bending sexual freedom and celebration of difference at a time of political turmoil, Bernie is a world-class example of a modern Weimar kabarett diva, in all of her dangerously satirical, gin-drinking, promiscuous glory.

Bernie has performed for sold out audiences from London’s West End as the host of infamous Olivier Award Winning variety show ‘La Clique’ to the Melbourne Art Centre. Toured shows around Europe, created mayhem in Spiegeltents all over Australia. She’s headlined BBC’s TV show “Live at the Electric” appeared on ABC Australia, and NBC America and has been heard on the airwaves of BBC 1,2 & 4.  

She has taken the world by storm in the past 18 months with her show Little Death Club, winning ‘Pick of the Fringe’ and ‘Best Cabaret’ awards in 2018 and 2019 in Adelaide and with sell out seasons in both Melbourne and Perth it went on to become one of the most successful cabaret shows ever at this years Edinburgh Festival, and made the prestigious ‘Top 5 best reviewed shows’ of the enitre festival (from over 3,800 shows) in both 2018 and 2019. The show has recently had its London debut as the headline show at the Southbank Festival Spiegeltent for a 3 month season garnering eighteen 5 star reviews in the process. 

There is no fourth wall, no rules, and no seat is safe in Bernie’s defiant den of iniquity.
