The Kazador Festival is sadly coming to a close for 2024, but it’s not going out quietly! After already bringing a diverse and high-quality lineup to Kiama, featuring big names like Geraldine Hickey, Tom Ballard, and Imogen Kelly, the festival still has some exciting performances lined up for its final weekend from November 22 to 24.

The last weekend promises to be action-packed, with a mix of comedy, music, vaudeville, and magic performances.

Friday, November 22 kicks off with local split personality Kiki Bittovabitsch, aka Tamara Campbell, presenting her brand new show The Demasking of Kiki Bittovabitsch at 7pm, followed by internationally recognized bluesman Frank Sultana at 8:30pm.

On Saturday, November 23, the comedy continues with Peter Berner at 6pm, followed by The Thin White Ukes, a ukulele tribute band performing the music of David Bowie, at 8pm. Earlier in the day, there will also be a family-friendly Vaudeville/Comedy/Circus show, Vaudevillawarra, at 4pm.

The festival will close on Sunday, November 24, with Kiki and Pascal presenting their brand-new magic show, A Kind of Magic, at 2pm, followed by the final performance of the season—Kay Proudlove, a local singer-songwriter, at 6pm.

In addition to the ticketed events, there will be two free wine-down sessions. On Friday, November 22, enjoy The Saskia McIntyre Trio, a jazz group from the Wollongong Conservatorium of Music, performing at 5pm. On Sunday, November 24, Cha Cha Del Mar, local favourites, will play the final wine-down at 3:30pm.

Dave and Tamara from Laughter House Entertainment, the organisers of the Kiama-based festival, are thrilled with the event’s success.

“We’re so proud to have brought a program that rivals any major city theatre. The Kazador Festival will be back in 2025, and we urge people to check out some of the hidden gems in the program that they might have missed—every show this season has been fantastic,” they said.

The organisers also expressed gratitude to Kiama Council for their support through the community grants program.
