Renowned for high-quality performances and unparalleled entertainment, INFERNO has proudly solidified its position as one of Adelaide’s leading productions and Australia’s HOTTEST Fire Show.

Let’s chat about it…
Inferno at Adelaide’s Nineteen Ten rooftop bar sizzled. A fierce collision of cabaret, burlesque, circus energy and unapologetic performance art, the production transformed the intimate rooftop space into a blazing playground of seduction, spectacle and pure theatrical chaos. Under the production guidance of Kali Savill, Inferno embraced its title wholeheartedly, delivering a night that was bold, cheeky, dangerous and impossible to ignore.
Host Minnie Andrews kept the fire burning from start to finish, commanding the room with charisma, cheekiness, humour and effortless crowd connection. Andrews understood exactly how to work the audience, creating a sense of anticipation before every act while keeping the evening moving with confidence and flair. It was the perfect thread connecting a lineup packed with individuality and stage presence.
“Inferno transformed Nineteen Ten’s rooftop into a blazing playground of cabaret, burlesque and unapologetic spectacle.”

Roxie Bordeaux brought glamour and commanding confidence, owning the stage with every movement and proving exactly why burlesque remains such a captivating art form. Lit Venam injected the evening with an electrifying edge, blending attitude, performance and visual impact into a set that left the crowd hanging on every moment. Eddie Embers delivered exactly what the name promises – fiery energy and magnetic showmanship that drew the audience further into Inferno’s world.
Dorean Courtesan offered one of the evening’s most elegant and beautifully crafted performances, balancing sensuality with artistry in a way that felt both classic and contemporary. Ethan Arthurs brought impressive physicality and stage command, while Icarus Aflame pushed the theatricality even further, creating moments that felt larger than the rooftop setting itself.
“Bold, seductive and gloriously unpredictable, Inferno delivered a night where every performer burned brightly in their own unique way.”
Markus Hamence
Micky Rolls delivered a performance bursting with personality, proving that technical skill means little without genuine connection, while Luci Fire closed the circle with a fierce display of confidence and captivating stage presence that perfectly suited the production’s infernal theme.
What made Inferno work so well was its refusal to settle into one style. It constantly shifted between glamour, danger, comedy, seduction and spectacle, creating an experience that felt alive and unpredictable. Every performer contributed a unique flavour, yet together they formed a cohesive celebration of self-expression, performance and unapologetic artistry.
“From Minnie Andrews’ magnetic hosting to a powerhouse lineup of artists, Inferno was pure late-night Adelaide magic with a wicked edge.”
Markus Hamence
In a city increasingly embracing immersive and alternative cabaret experiences, Inferno stands out as a production that understands exactly what audiences want from a late-night rooftop show: excitement, talent, atmosphere and a little bit of beautiful chaos. By the time the final bow and applause rang across the Adelaide skyline, Inferno had done exactly what great cabaret should do – leave the audience exhilarated, energised and wanting another taste of the fire.
