Review: Sound of the Underground
It’ll remain one of the break-out, breakthrough, certainly ground-breaking shows this year.
Genre: Burlesque
Review: Absolute Burlesque
An absolutely game attempt to tickle, tantalise and tease with all shapes welcome
Review: Accordion Fight Show
The bizarre burlesque of a man in leather thong playing accordion - mostly with other clothes on
Review: Souvenir
Uproarious “kamikaze cabaret” history of Brighton Theatre Royal told through song and amusing anecdotes.
Review: Hughie, and The Real Inspector Hound
This is a very fine revival of The Real Inspector Hound, counting on timing as much as the consummate Hughie counts on pauses. Potton is the commanding presence in Stoppard’s farce, whilst Messingham’s Erie is an exceptionally observed teeter to despair and a sudden lurch back. You wonder what he would have made of the 1930s, and how O'Neill might have answered him.
Review: Jeu Jeu La Foille: Frontal Lobotomy
Burlesque, poetry, puppetry and the history of frontal lobotomy
Review: Wolf Meat
Profoundly silly and farcically serious show with just the kind of anarchy that offers coke to audience members. Contains brief and ghastly nudity.
Review: Blues and Burlesque
Blues and Burlesque: Pete Saunders, strikes whilst the iron is hot, calling on the seductress Ivy Paige to host an evening of sultry blues, bawdy comedy and strip tease
Review: The Art of Tease
Seven sexy ladies tease the audience with displays of personality and sensuality
Review: Dorothy Parker’s Sweet Release of Death
The infamously prickly poet is celebrated in all her glory
Review: Captain Syphilis
A kooky pirate takes the audience on a psychedelic voyage that is not entirely without raunchiness, canon balls, and musical talent.
Review: Andrew Finnegan Sings Songs for the End of the World
A troubadour tells tales about terrible things, but our looming demise is something to laugh about in this show
Review: The Musical of Musicals (The Musical!)
By public demand return season featuring Fiona DeLaine, Mark DeLaine, Rod Schultz and Michaela Burger with Angela Turner
Review: Bourgeois and Maurice: Sugartits
Excellent glamorous and inventive cabaret show with a political edge.
Review: Daughters of Lot
Sex sells and the corruption of the two daughters is of biblical proportions in this hour long sexploitation.
Review: Lady Rizzo
A New York cabaret singer who thrives on glitter and glamour, has the voice of Lady Gaga, and the aplomb of Liz Minelli.
Review: Richard Wiseman – Psychobabble
Never trust a psychologist, especially one that doubles as a magician.
Review: Queer: The Wicked Webs We Weave
Scenesters set the scene well considering that the setting of the scenes themselves lacked lustre.
Review: Eastend Cabaret: The Revolution Will Be Sexual
Hilariously dark and dirty songs ensure satisfaction for all involved
Review: The Blue Lady Sings Back
Review: Kitty Cointreau’s Bra Ha Ha
The compere squeals with delight at one point: ‘Oh, tomorrow’s going to be a brilliant day!’. And the Bra Ha Ha is a brilliant way to end it ..
Review: East End Cabaret: The Revolution Will Be Sexual
A thoroughly enjoyable show - a real Free Fringe bargain
Review: Seven Days Drunk (work in progress/preview)
A journey through a lot of vodka drinking and the psyche of an artist
Review: Alive & Swinging with Marylin Monroe
'Forget the rumours, Marylin Monroe is very much alive and swinging in this five star show'
Review: Miss Hope Springs….Je m’appelle Hope
Miss Hope Springs returns with another outstanding show
Review: Frisky And Mannish – The College Years
Frisky and Mannish are in very real danger of dwindling audience members – if only because they’re quite genuinely choking on helpless, teary laughter.
