Hosted LIVE by CAOS madwoman Xstine Cook and international super clown Mooky Cornish, the annual Dolly Wiggler Cabaret is an evening of unsettling weirdness, puppet nudity (sometimes), and ribald entertainment that will leave you uncomfortably aroused. Each puppet has given their consent and the safe word is “bratwurst.”

Hosted by CAOS madwoman and FAO founder Xstine Cook, the Cabaret promises raucous short-form performances, featuring puppeteers, clowns, and mask performers.

This year’s theme is “Everybody loves Frank!”

Dress your best and show up ready to party. It’s all a big experiment, and we can’t wait to see you guys! Come early, pour yourself a beverage, see who’s there. Visit at the “bar” during intermission, or after the show.

Ticket proceeds cover artist and technician fees, and we thank you for your support!
