What makes Caluzzi special

Caluzzi is considered Australasia’s longest-running drag cabaret stage. The drag queens serve you at your table and perform between courses. The cabaret is led by the duo Kita Mean and Anita Wigl’it, known from RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under.

The ticket includes an à la carte three-course menu and the show. Private bookings are possible for groups, birthdays and stag and hen dos. Weekends and public holidays book up fast.

Atmosphere and crowd

The nights are loud, cheeky and interactive, and anyone at a table is likely to be pulled into the show. The shows, the service and the food get particular praise, especially the lamb shank.
