Camp as Christmas: Wonder Mama's Christmas Cabaret

Get ready to deck the halls — queer style — at Qtopia Sydney for a night of glittering yuletide cheer, theatrical antics, and unapologetic sparkle. Wonder Mama brings her legendary cabaret flair to the season with "Camp as Christmas", a festive evening that blends holiday nostalgia with bold, sassy storytelling and musical magic.

This isn’t your average Christmas carol singalong. Expect a curated evening where holiday classics get reimagined with a twist — think shimmering costumes, quick-witted banter, and a healthy dose of seasonal camp. Lindsay Partridge on keyboards sets the tone with lush arrangements and spontaneous improvisations that weave through the night’s narrative.

Arrive early for pre-show drinks and grazing platters curated with care — perfect for mingling or settling into the holiday spirit with friends. The evening also features an interactive art class before the curtain rises, where guests can express their festive mood through playful, inclusive crafting. Whether you’re a seasoned cabaret fan or new to Wonder Mama’s world, this is a celebration that welcomes everyone to the queer holiday table.

The vibe? Spicy, soulful, and just a little bit cheeky. Think velvet curtains, faux-fur trim, and songs that make you giggle, gasp, or glow with joy. This is a Christmas experience designed for those who love their holidays with a dash of drama, a sprinkle of glitter, and a whole lot of heart.

Bring your loved ones — friends, chosen family, or that cousin who still doesn’t understand your pronouns but shows up anyway. There’s room at the table for all, and the joy is guaranteed to be contagious.
