The Spiegeltent returns with a bang after a two-year hiatus to take over the Wollongong Arts Precinct once more. With three weeks of electrifying live performance, a dash of comedy and splash of family fun, Spiegeltent Wollongong’s 2022 season is brought to life from 9-27 March, 2022.

Originating in the late 19th century as a travelling entertainment venue, the stunning Aurora Spiegeltent is an extravagant big top tent decorated with mirrors, stained glass, velvet and brocade with a beautifully glamorous old-world feel and a live experience like no other.

This year’s jam-packed program features three headlining shows from heavy-hitters of the entertainment world, showcasing the very best of circus, comedy and cabaret.

Australia’s masters of ground-breaking circus, Circa, turn cabaret on its head, literally, with Peepshow, showcasing some of the finest acrobatic talent – expect teetering towers of balanced bodies, extreme bending, beguiling burlesque and devilishly precarious aerials, all under the direction of circus visionary Yaron Lifschitz.

Direct from London's West End, über-award-winning queen of Weimar punk, Bernie Dieter will bring her infamous troupe of Bohemians and misfits to Wollongong for Bernie Dieter’s Club Kabarett, an unmissable night of gender-bending aerial and fire breathing sideshow, backed by the gin-soaked haus band.

Rounding out the stellar headline program is The Purple Rabbit, from virtuosic creative forces behind Spiegeltent Wollongong smash hits Limbo and Blanc de Blanc, Strut & Fret. Promising a raunchy evening of comedy, magic and mayhem from an international ensemble cast, the rabbit is well and truly out of the hat in this late-night fix of edge-of-your seat spectacle.

Bringing the laughs to The Spiegeltent stage will be a top-tier line-up including Garry Starr’s Greece Lightning, a comedy masterclass not to be ‘mythed’ and Roxee Horror’s Beauty Pageant, where six of the Illawarra’s top Queens will go head-to-head in a multi-category drag competition,

And not to forget the whole family, Mechanical Mayhem is a chaotically fun show set in steampunk laboratory from Merrigong Theatre Company and aXis by Circus Monoxide.
