JOIN THE CLIQUE!
Brent Leideritz
We chat to flamboyant and fabulous BERNIE DIETER, emcee of the award-winning theatrical performance La Clique, which is planned to be staged at Sands Expo & Convention Centre from 22 September to 7 November 2021.
How did you find cabaret?
What drew you to La Clique?
I was always an attention seeker from a young age darling, and cabaret just felt like a natural progression. When I ran away to Berlin at the age of 16, I met circus performers and drag queens and people who truly celebrated and embraced their differences. I knew then that I wanted to always be surrounded by those people!
La Clique is one of the most infamous variety shows in the world, and it’s truly redefined the genre of cabaret. It was always my dream to be a part of it and I am very proud to have become the first female emcee of this legendary show.
Is Singapore ready for La Clique? It sounds wonderfully risqué!
What does the show offer?
It is wonderfully risqué! We like to push the boundaries where we can, and it is a little bit naughty, but it’s always classy and a lot of fun.
A breathtaking circus, sexy sideshow and spectacular stunts as well as a smoking hot band. And me, of course!
What is your favourite onstage outfit? I have a new faux fur coat that I had made for me by a Melbourne fashion designer. It’s larger than life, very sexy, and also very ridiculous. I love it!
There are some incredible acts in the show – any favourites?

The things he can do with his body will blow your mind…
What’s performing like during Covid? There hasn’t been much performing! It has been a very challenging and 20
