Comfort Food Cabaret is the creation of Australia’s singing cook, Michelle Pearson. It’s a multi-award-winning cabaret style experience with Michelle’s sublime voice at the forefront!

Diners are serenaded by the soulful songstress as she creates a delicious three course menu celebrating local produce and comfort food accompanied by a live band performing the perfect playlist of jazz, rock and pop. The show walks a line between traditional music and story driven comedy-cabaret, cooking class and pop-up restaurant. Since its debut in February 2017, Michelle has performed Comfort Food Cabaret 107 times to over 9000 people in Australia, the United Kingdom and Europe.

Comfort Food Cabaret’s recognition extends internationally, with performances at Copenhagen’s Michelin three-star restaurant Geranium, and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where it enjoyed sold-out seasons in 2018, 2019, and 2024—the 2024 season selling out before the cast even arrived in Edinburgh—solidifying its reputation as a must-see experience at food and arts festivals around the world.

The show has garnered significant acclaim, including winning ‘Best Cabaret’ at the Adelaide Fringe in 2019, ‘Best Cabaret’ at the South Australia Theatre Guide Awards in 2017, the South Australian Government’s ‘Made in Adelaide Arts Export Award’ in 2019, and ‘Best Eat & Drink Event’ at the Adelaide Fringe in 2023.

Michelle was also invited to represent the South Australian Government’s ‘Made in Adelaide Arts Export’ program by performing at the prestigious Australia House in London, and at Freemasons Hall (UK) for the South Australia Club Annual Dinner in 2019.
