What is Off-The-Cuff Cabaret?

Off-The-Cuff Cabaret is a student-led celebration of creativity, spotlighting both visual and performative arts. Whether you have an act you’ve polished to perfection or an idea you’re daring to debut, Off-The-Cuff is the place to make it happen.

We welcome artists of all ages, disciplines, and experience levels to showcase their talents in a welcoming, low-pressure environment. Whether it’s singing, poetry, movement pieces, comedy, eye-catching visual art, or even an onstage hot dog eating contest—no idea is too bold or quirky! With a five-minute time limit, the possibilities are endless. Previous performances have featured burlesque, live band sets, handstand contests, and more, while visual art is proudly displayed in the Off-The-Cuff gallery. If you can dream it, it deserves a spot on our stage.

2024-25 Theme: 8-Volution of Taste

Thank you for joining us for 8-Volution of Taste! This year, we served up a feast for the senses with a flavour-inspired mix of performances and visuals that pushed creative boundaries. We loved seeing how our artists explored, experimented, and evolved in this celebration of taste and artistry.

Stay tuned for updates on our next season—more Off-The-Cuff magic is on the way!
