Stop what you’re doing and buy tickets to I Love The Nightlife immediately. The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert is an absolutely iconic piece of Australian cinema history, and bloody hell Peter Cumins does it justice. I Love The Nightlife is a celebration of the music from the Academy Award winning film and smash hit stage shows and is the perfect way to start your FRINGE WORLD Festival night out!

With incredible tunes from both the iconic 1994 film and stage shows I Love The Nightlife is the perfect mix of sing-alongs, stories from behind the scenes and tidbits of trivia from Peter’s time performing on stages from Perth to Tel Aviv and every city in between. Peter’s performance is absolute perfection, entertaining the crowd with fun mash-ups of everyone’s beloved dance floor anthems and his rich voice bringing each song to life and making it his own. 

Stunning in a sparkling blue suit and sequinned silver shoes Peter and his trusty band of Jarrad and Joe had the crowd captivated from the title track, singing along to each and every chart topper from I Will Survive to It’s Raining Men. A gorgeous rendition of True Colours is a highlight with Peter’s voice really taking centre stage and the entire tent belting out Pat Benatar’s We Belong is a karaoke moment you do not want to miss. 

Peter’s energy and charisma is electric and fills the tent with palpable frivolity and fun. The crowd was having such a good time we couldn’t hold back anymore and a literal dance party broke out in the middle of the unforgettable crowd favourite Finally. 

Get all your faaaaaaabulous pals together and see I Love The Nightlife, it will have you shaking your Groove Thing all night long!
