Award-winning cabaret sensation, SKANK SINATRA, arrives at Adelaide Fringe, following Perth and Melbourne seasons with a Brand New Show!
Following a world premiere season at FRINGE WORLD in Perth and a season at Chapel Off Chapel as part of the Midsumma Festival in Melbourne, awardwinning cabaret superstar Skank Sinatra brings the acclaimed new production Skank Sinatra: The Name on Everybody’s Lips to Adelaide Fringe 2026, playing at The Lark at Gluttony from 9th – 15th March.
Created and performed by Jens Radda, Skank Sinatra: The Name on Everybody’s Lips is a bold, high-camp cabaret spectacular that reimagines the Broadway songbook through the lens of drag, jazz and theatrical satire.
The production combines powerhouse live vocals, biting comedy and musical theatre classics reworked into a glamorous, irreverent fever dream.
Co-presented by Jens Radda and Theatre Travels, the production is directed and co-created by Carly Fisher, Artistic Director of Qtopia Sydney and founder of Theatre Travels. Fisher’s involvement marks a continuation of her work championing bold, touring cabaret and queer-led performance both nationally and internationally.
Skank Sinatra is no stranger to Adelaide audiences, having won Best Cabaret at the Adelaide Fringe Weekly Awards in both 2024 and 2025. This latest work builds on that legacy with Radda’s most ambitious show to date, featuring a score that smashes Broadway glamour into drag excess with precision and wit. “This show is a love letter to musical theatre, filtered through drag chaos,” says Radda. “It’s big, brassy, unapologetic — and absolutely made for festival audiences.”
Broadway’s greatest hits explode in a glittering cabaret spectacular with powerhouse vocals, biting comedy and lashings of sequinned charm. With reimagined songs from your favourite shows (think Hamilton to The Sound of Music and everything in between), this show promises razzle-dazzle, satire sharper than a Patti LuPone glare and vocals bring enough to bring down the Phantom chandelier.
With a 60-minute runtime, Skank Sinatra: The Name on Everybody’s Lips is designed for theatre lovers, cabaret fans and Fringe audiences seeking polished performance with a sharp comedic edge
