The sold-out Dracula's comedy cabaret show has added Townsville dates for it's upcoming 2023 return.

“The demand has been really strong already, so we’ve added in a fourth show, which is really exciting. We’re expecting some sellout audiences and a great, party atmosphere every night,” Mr Newman said.

He said the troupe of performers were aiming to have people ‘dancing in the aisles’ at the end of each showing.

“It’s circus, it’s rock and roll, it’s full of comedy. We want people leaving thinking ‘what the hell was all that about? That was the best night ever’.”

Each step of the tour features over an hour of entertainment, with two 40-minute acts separated by an intermission.

The show will tour across a number of southern venues throughout May, before heading north to Cairns on May 26 and 27, and arriving at Townsville Civic Theatre for shows on June 8, 9 and 10.
