The Gangster’s Ball
Who’s flapping now?
Now in its sensational sixth year, The Gangsters’ Ball is on its way back to Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane this September!
A fully themed night of interactive and non-stop entertainment, The Gangsters’ Ball brings to life the fashion, style, humour and classic entertainment of the 1930s and 40s. Modern day mobsters and molls can step back in time to a bygone era where men wore three-piece suits and fedoras, women wore feathers and pill box hats, big bands ruled the airwaves and gangsters ruled the streets.
Featuring the biggest names in Australian and international cabaret, sideshow vaudeville, magic, burlesque and big band swing, this is an event like no other and one not to be missed.
Each year nearly 4,000 gangsters, molls and flappers attend The Gangsters’ Ball shows and now the Gangsters’ Ball is going global with plans underway for shows in Europe, Asia and America – including nightly casino shows in Las Vegas.
This year’s headline acts include MC chanteuse Madame Leila Leontine, world renowned New York based broadville troupe the Pretty Things Peepshow, award-winning acrobatic troupe Acrobatica, master of illusion Adam Mada and juggler extraordinaire Jeremy Ansley, with each capital city playing host to a variety of other wild, wicked and amazing entertainers.
Pretty Things Peepshow
Every show also features Australia’s best swing, rockabilly and rock & roll DJs, The Gambling Den – with Poker, Roulette and Black Jack tables, swing dancing performances, pin-up models, merchandise stalls, cocktail bars, a vintage styling parlour and 1930’s themed photo booth with one lucky attendee in the running for a VIP trip for 2 people to see the Gangsters’ Ball in Las Vegas.
For the first time ever The Gangsters’ Ball will feature in the Sydney Fringe Festival with Gangsters’ Ball Sideshows in Sydney & Melbourne, starring the Pretty Things Peepshow in a night of vaudeville, cabaret, burlesque and broadville mayhem!
