The Great Cabaret- FRIDAY SHOW

The Great Cabaret is a high-caliber variety show created and hosted by television's Alexander the Great, coming to Philly January 22 & 23!


Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome to The Great Cabaret!

The Great Cabaret is a high-caliber variety show brimming with award-winning, world-class talent from the realms of burlesque, drag, pole dance, acrobatics, live singing, visual artistry, and beyond. Our two shows are emceed by television's "Alexander the Great" (King of Drag) from Austin, Texas. Known for his charisma and high-flying aerial skills, Alexander hosts the show through the intimate, vaudevillian lense, connecting the audience and the cast seamlessly through empowering artistry.

The Great Cabaret previously ran in Austin, Texas from 2017-2019 and boasted several sold-out shows and international headliners, including Mister Exotic World winner IckyMuffin, Dragula Season 3's Louisianna Purchase, and more! Alexander the Great is thrilled to team up with KenDoll Carter of Philadelphia to bring The Great Cabaret outside of Austin for the very first time!

This unique, two-night run offers a different show each night, ensuring an expansive cabaret experience unlike any other. Join us for both shows to immerse yourself fully in the magic of The Great Cabaret!
