The Iron Cabaret

How Ottawa's Hottest Cabaret got started

The Iron Cabaret takes its name from the roots of cabaret and the performers who often begin their careers in industrial venues such as basements, smaller stages, and outdoor festivals. Historically, cabaret has been perceived as risqué and sexy, but often shrouded in darkness. The Iron Cabaret aims to change that perception by bringing cabaret to the forefront and showcasing the art form in a way that appeals to all audiences, making them laugh, smile and cheer.
