A monstrous night of fairytale burlesque.

After taking Fringe festivals in Australia and Edinburgh by storm in 2024 and 2025, this ogre-inspired burlesque and drag parody arrives in Hobart for one night only. Swamplesque is the award-winning, critically acclaimed, burlesque parody show from Far Far Away! This outrageously fun show offers its audience a smorgasbord of performance styles.

Prepare for a night filled with laughter, surprises, and a touch of the risqué. Don't be green with envy – grab your friends and secure your tickets now for this hilariously naughty night out. Whether you're a seasoned burlesque fan or new to the scene, Swamplesque promises to leave you enchanted, entertained and begging for more.
