Meow Meow

Post-post-modern diva Meow Meow specialises in a unique brand of kamikaze cabaret and performance art exotica.

She has created original works for international arts festival and theatres, including Soho Theatre, Malthouse Theatre and the Sydney Opera House (Vamp!, Meow to the World, Beyond Glamour, Matchgirl). Meow’s album Vamp, with composer Iain Grandage, was released this year. With Pink Martini’s Thomas M.

She has won the Edinburgh International Festival Fringe Prize, Adelaide Festival Fringe prize, New York Franklin Furnace Performance Art Award, Sydney Theatre Critics Award and numerous Green Room Awards. She is currently nominated for the London Cabaret Award.

She returns to Melbourne from a sensational series of solo concerts at the legendary Apollo on London’s glittering West End. She performs at the Famous Spiegeltent in Melbourne in February and debuts next with the London Philharmonic in Paris and London.
