Dolly Diamond returns to the Brunswick Ballroom for one very special night of fabulous cabaret with Belle of the Ballroom on Sunday 17 May 2026.
Backed by a sensational seven-piece band guided by Musical Director Andy Pobjoy, Dolly delivers two glorious hours of camp-soaked entertainment featuring razor-sharp comedy, powerhouse vocals and sparkling storytelling.
Bold, brilliant and bursting with heart, Belle of the Ballroom captures the wit, warmth, and irresistible charm that has made Dolly one of Melbourne’s most adored cabaret divas.
Joining Dolly on stage is acclaimed performer Chloe Halley, fresh from acclaimed seasons at the Adelaide Fringe and Melbourne International Comedy Festival with Little Miss Typecast. Known for standout performances in Ruthless! and Urinetown, Chloe will bring a magnetic stage presence to an already dazzling line-up.
Belle of the Ballroom is more than a show — it’s an invitation to step into a world of glittering glamour, cheeky comedy and joyous live music. “When the opportunity came up to work with a 7 piece band I knew we had to put on an old school Dolly type gig,” said Diamond.
“I’ve enjoyed collaborating on various shows over the last few years but this is just me and a group of talented musicians, hopefully doing what we do best.”
Whether you’re a devoted Dolly fan or discovering her brilliance for the first time, this will be the cabaret event Melbourne will be talking about for a very long time!
