It’s wild, it’s weird, it’s always entertaining!

The annual Dolly Wiggler Cabaret promises raucous short-form performances by puppeteers, clowns, and mask performers for an adult audience. 

Tickets available now!

The love child of a 1920’s Czech cabaret and a tavern inPonoka, 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. No promises, but the best seats are as close to the stage as you dare.

Difficult to describe, impossible to predict, last year’s team of greats was hosted by CAOS madwoman Xstine Cook and international super clown Mooky McGuinty.
