WestK Cabaret Festival: Jens Radda 'Skank Sinatra'

The Ultimate Cabaret Experience

Get ready for a night of wit, powerhouse vocals, and glamorous rebellion! As part of the inaugural WestK Cabaret Festival, Australian cabaret drag artist Jens Radda brings his award-winning solo show Skank Sinatra to Hong Kong's Xiqu Centre Tea House Theatre. This is not just a concert—it is a saucy, queer makeover of the legendary Frank Sinatra songbook, infused with razor-sharp comedy, poignant autobiographical storytelling, and explosive charisma.

About the Performance

Winner of the Best Cabaret at the 2024 Adelaide Fringe, Skank Sinatra charts Radda's globe-trotting journey. From his childhood in South Africa and Denmark to his migration to Australia and wild nights in Berlin, Radda refashions classic standards like "New York, New York," "Come Fly with Me," and "My Way" into pointed, satirical vehicles for his own life story. Expect a whirlwind of drag, rapid-fire storytelling, and an intimate, bar-style atmosphere that brings you closer to the action than ever before.
