Comedian and performer Natali Caro (& friends) are taking over the Bondi Pav Bar for a free unique interactive Karaoke. Whether you’re just stopping in between shows, or planning a full night of belting tunes, anything goes!

In case you missed last year Bondi Festival Natali’s live elevator entertainment through our Heavy Lifting program, which featured a 3hr endurance piece of non-stop Careless Whisper drag one night, Dad-aoke, Emo Night and even a 30 second holistic spiritual experience on another, you can except to meet some interesting characters along the way. 

You bring your friends and Natali will be sure to bring theirs – Known for an array of characters and impressions as well as being one of Sydney’s beloved Drag Kings (Papi Chulo), Natali can not only hold a crowd, but also hold a tune!  So, whether you’re coming to watch, or join in, you will be in safe hands at this makeshift, interactive cabaret experience. Requests are welcome!
