A glamorous woman with blonde finger-wave curls and a jeweled headpiece looks toward the viewer while holding a glowing, antique clockwork orb in one hand. Spirals of golden light swirl upward from the clock, revealing multiple versions of the same woman dressed in different vintage outfits—1920s, 1940s, and other eras—standing among floating historical objects like an old car, Stonehenge, the Eiffel Tower, and a UFO.

Confidently against a starry night backdrop, a woman wearing a flowing, metallic gold gown with a deep neckline. Her hair is styled in an elegant updo adorned with a gold headpiece, and she gazes to the side with a poised, statuesque expression. The soft halo of light around her enhances the glamorous, timeless feel of the image.

Wearing an ornate, light-gold dress with intricate patterns, and gestures animatedly with one arm extended and the other bent as if mid-dance or storytelling a woman with long, wavy blonde hair poses joyfully against a starry night backdrop. A soft halo of light surrounds her, adding to the whimsical, theatrical feel.

Cabaret Time Machine

Welcome to an evening where you control the clock!

Every night is a new historic era, where no two nights are the same. Could you find yourself in Ancient Rome? Or the Roaring Twenties, or Swinging Sixties? You decide!

Musical improviser Isabella Valette (Green Room award nominee Best Ensemble 2023, Best Cabaret Nominee Melbourne Fringe 2023) and her talented musicians will be spinning songs, stories and theatrical gold on the spot.

Witty one liners, intricate narratives and callbacks weave your suggestions into the fabric of one live, wild and unique experience.

Cabaret Time Machine: Where history meets hilarity, and you hold the remote control to time itself!
