Cutthroat Circus for Cats

The Festival in collaboration with Cabaret Nova, presents the ultimate circus showdown!

Welcome to "Cutthroat Circus for Cats"—a high-flying, heart-pounding, and wickedly seductive competition where elite performers take center stage in an 18+ spectacle like no other. 

Expect aerial artistry, jaw-dropping acrobatics, and sultry showmanship—all in support of the Ottawa Stray Cat Rescue. Inspired by the devious games of Cutthroat Kitchen, this contest is packed with twists, turns, and trickery designed to push each competitor to their limits.

🎭 The Rules? Simple.
🔥 The Challenge? Brutal.
💥 The Sabotages? Oh, they’re diabolical.

With their songs, props, and even votes up for grabs, no one is safe from the chaos—except where it truly counts. Safety is sacred, but everything else? Fair game.

From aerialists and pole dancers to burlesque bombshells, these performers must outshine, outlast, and outplay to claim the ultimate title: “Greatest Circus Star.”

Do they have what it takes? Or will the trickery be too much for even the most bold?

One night. One winner. Endless surprises.
