An Australian drag cabaret with a personal touch. Dolly Diamond and her psychiatrist sidekick delve into the queen’s past in a live music-therapy session. This charming duo take us along for an hour of songs and cabaret comedy, ideal for lovers of classic drag.

From being cut from her childhood production of Annie, developing a love-hate relationship with her personal trainer and ‘doing enough cocaine to kill a small family of donkeys’, this cabaret host is really hanging it all out to dry. Pleasing to watch, Diamond has some great one-liners (mostly addressing the empty seats in her audience). 

Clearly an experienced performer, she knows how to delight a crowd, no matter how big or small. She reworks the lyrics to some classic songs like ‘Que Sera, Sera’ and throws in a little bit of rap for good measure. Diamond delivers a perfectly likeable show. 

Dolly Diamond: The Unburdening Of Dolly Diamond, Assembly Roxy, until 25 August, 8.40pm.
