About
Swamplesque
Swamplesque is a wildly funny burlesque and drag parody of Shrek (2001) — an adults-only celebration that fuses burlesque, drag, musical theatre, comedy, and pantomime into a raucous night out.
Since debuting in Australia, Swamplesque has become an international sensation, with sell-out seasons at major festivals including Edinburgh Fringe, where it was the highest-selling show of the entire festival and invited back for the Edinburgh Christmas Festival.
Expect outrageous comedy, glitter-soaked glamour, and a powerhouse cast of performers serving nostalgia, chaos, and swamp-filled fantasy.
