Step into the mirror and descend into the uncanny with Atomic Vaudeville’s 90th Cabaret, DOPPELGÄNGER. A wild collision of ghostly counterparts, identity crises, and Kubrickian fever dreams, this latest instalment dares to ask: what happens when you split yourself in two?
From free-speech cults to fever dreams, AI tech to your own unshakable reflection, this surreal, satirical spectacle blends sketch comedy, live music, dance battles and high-camp horror in a night of theatrical mischief.
Expect haunting hilarity, surreal sketches, live music, and the kind of absurd brilliance only Atomic Vaudeville can conjure.

“AV shows never cease to amaze me. The creativity, humour, zaniness, puppetry, buffoonery, social commentary and satire is unmatched in Victoria.”

“Atomic Vaudeville shows are sharp, savvy, and salacious. What a gift to a City to have such a space, one where cast and audience alike can be delighted by the absurd, the tender and the gift of reciprocity.”
At our inception in 2004, Atomic Vaudeville sought to be a voice of the city. Since then, we have
worked with more than 400 local and visiting artists, creating a network of theatre practitioners
across the country. AV is instrumental to the ongoing support and mentorship of
contemporary voices emerging from the Victoria community, having mentored and platformed
artists like JIMBO the Drag Clown (RuPaul’s Drag Race), Ingrid Hansen (Jim Henson Company
puppeteer), and Shirley Gnome (Juno Award nominee).
“So cathartic to laugh together at the absurdity of our modern lives / current political hellscape … had me howling and hooting and hollering so much I lost my dang voice!”
