Amazing Genre Blending
Originating from one producer’s musical theatre background and the other’s rich library of comic books, creators Diana and Jackson found a sweet spot with their first show 'Dawn of JustAss'. A mix of comedy, interactive games and both classic and alternative burlesque styles dressed in professional quality costumes, the show was an instant hit. Returning for Adelaide Fringe 2017 saw further success for the show and the development of a true mix of classic cabaret and high-camp, heartfelt nerdiness. 'Club Gotham' debuted in Cabaret Fringe 2017 to packed seats, the idea of an immersive Batman cabaret with classic vaudevillian themes and styling drew in crowds of comic book and cabaret fans alike.Incredible Reviews
