Join us for a month of dazzling works and moving stories as we celebrate the astounding talent within our community.

Presented by Qtopia Sydney, Pride Fest covers the entire month of June, bringing audiences limited runs of exciting works from Australian Artists. Involving local and interstate artists, Pride Fest features the best of what our community has to offer.

Pride Fest contains cabaret, drag, theatre, and more, encouraging us to come together to celebrate not only LGBTQIA+ stories, but the story tellers themselve

From Tuesday to Friday, our mezzanine level known as "Le Salon", is transformed into a stylish intimate cabaret featuring la creme de la creme of Australian and International artists.

Guests can watch the show while enjoying a three course classic French menu.

We like to celebrate in style and any excuse is good to throw a special party.

On special dates we dress up the restaurant and the staff and we create a special menu to create a different atmosphere. Guests are also invited to dress up.

Dillie Keane, founder of the international satirical cabaret trio Fascinating Aïda, is coming to Claire’s Kitchen for a one off performance.

Though supposed to be on holiday, the chance to showcase her quirky and often hilarious songs was too enticing to pass up. Accompanied by the marvellous Michael Tyack on piano, her take on life and love is cheerfully sour and gently savage, yet the beautiful music softens the blows.

Expect the unexpected from a game old buzzard who refuses to age gracefully. Tender yet hilarious, melancholic yet furious, Dillie Keane’s songs speak of a lifetime fully, albeit not always sensibly, lived. Gorgeous songs of love stand alongside side splitting tunes of disgraceful filth. Dillie will break your heart, mend it, and then have it sent off for ironing. And she’ll share her recipe for chutney while she’s at it.

As a part of Fascinating Aïda, Dillie has amassed over 25 million views on YouTube for their charming and now infamous takes on a variety of topics, from Cheap Flights, to Christmas, to Dillie’s notorious ode to dogging, which itself has garnered about 13 million views so far!

“Linc Sings Like a Girl” sees writer, dog groomer, singer and historical tap dancer Linc Jenkin look back at his life in Far North Queensland in the 80’s & 90’s as a big boned boy who just wanted to sing like a Disney princess.

Now a 6 ft 3 bearded man with a never ending enthusiasm for life, Linc draws from his story telling abilities to regale the audience with tales from his almost sixteen year career as a dog grooming business owner, more recent inclusion as a entertainment reporter for the Sydney Star Observer - all while fighting the compulsion to break into random time-step!
