Dolly Wiggler Performer List 2025

Dolly Wiggler Performer List 2025

The love child of a 1920’s Czech cabaret and a tavern in Ponoka, the Dolly Wiggler Cabaret is an infamous hallucination materializing in the probably haunted #1 Legion once a year. You cannot prepare, but you will be exposed to a packed roster of short form puppetry for adults

Dolly Wiggler Cabaret 2021

Dolly Wiggler Cabaret 2021

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.”

Dolly Wiggler 2024

Dolly Wiggler 2024

The Dolly Wiggler Cabaret is the iconic, don’t miss event that will change how you see puppetry forever. Hosted by CAOS madwoman and FAO founder Xstine Cook, the Cabaret promises raucous short-form performances, featuring puppeteers, clowns, and mask performers. Catch the best of the fest with some truly brilliant and wacky dolly wigglers!

Xstine Cook, 2023

Queen of CAOS, Xstine Cook

After training at the Dell’Arte Physical Theatre School in Humboldt County, and with various mask makers in Bali, Italy, France, and the West Coast of Canada, Xstine founded Green Fools Theatre, the Festival of Animated Objects, and CAOS, a multidisciplinary arts organization. She writes, directs and produces collaborative award-winning independent films including a short for Sesame Street.

Cook also cracks a mean bullwhip (literally), and was recently humbled to be awarded the Arts Award by the City of Calgary, and the Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Medal.
