Nightlife Events in Melbourne

Step inside Piper's Playhouse, an immersive Parisian cabaret club at the heart of Crown. A live jazz band soundtracks a hedonistic night of soaring vocals, burlesque bombshells, sword swallowing sirens and world-class circus artistes. Hosted by the incomparable drag superstar Jimi the Kween, this is a night of Montmartre fantasy you won't want to miss. Champagne flows, secrets unfold, and every moment dares you further. Immerse yourself in a hall of mirrors, indulge in a petit peep show or gasp at close-up magic. Indulge the impulse. Follow the allure. Come and play with Piper, and toast to the beautifully unexpected. Stay after the show as Piper's transforms into the hottest piano bar in Town. *Complimentary flute of Champagne with every VIP Ringside or Cabaret Table ticket!
