Cabaret Extreme

Cabaret Extreme comes to the Main Auditorium at Weymouth Pavilion on Friday 29 January 2027, starting at 7:30pm. It's a one-night stop in Weymouth, and the show is billed as a bizarre blend of burlesque, daring drag, extreme stunts and contemporary circus. The creative team behind it comes from some of the world's most iconic circuses, and that circus background sits right at the heart of what they're putting on stage.

What that means in practice is a night that pulls from a few different worlds. You've got the burlesque and the drag for the cabaret side of things, and the extreme stunts and contemporary circus for the more physical, high-energy side. It's not a traditional variety show where acts just follow one another; the whole thing is held together by a live band that drives the energy forward throughout. The production is built around a stunning set, stellar lighting and spectacular special effects, so it's as much about the visual scale as it is about the individual performances.

If you're planning to make an evening of it, there's a bit of flexibility with how you watch. The auditorium is seated, but if you'd rather be on your feet, you can stand or dance as long as you move to the sides or the rear. And if you want to eat before the show, pre-show meals are served in the Piano Bar from 5pm, so you can get some food in before heading into the auditorium. Tickets are £28, and the show starts at 7:30pm on Friday 29 January.
