Chat Noir
About

Nestled in the heart of Oslo, Chat Noir is a storied cabaret and revue theatre that has captivated audiences since 1912. Inspired by the Parisian Le Chat Noir, it was founded by singer Bokken Lasson and writer Vilhelm Dybwad as a literary cabaret, quickly evolving into a vibrant cultural hub. Over the decades, it has hosted legendary Norwegian performers and weathered historical upheavals, including censorship during WWII and a devastating fire in 1963. Rebuilt and revitalized, Chat Noir continues to charm with its intimate atmosphere, velvet-clad interiors, and a program that blends comedy, music, and theatrical flair. Today, under the direction of Tom Sterri, it remains a beloved venue for both locals and visitors seeking a taste of Oslo’s artistic soul. Located at Klingenberggata 5, just steps from the National Theatre, Chat Noir offers a unique blend of nostalgia and contemporary entertainment in one of the city’s most iconic settings.
