Enter the world of Les Dangereux Cabaret, the most daring alternative cabaret night that Leeds has to offer and where none of the usual rules apply. For one special night only the Playhouse is transformed into a Cabaret den, filled with sensational fire breathing mistresses, hula hooping mayhem, and jaw dropping amazement.

Prepare yourselves for:

Bourgeois and Maurice
Darker and slicker than a BP oil spill, award-winning cabaret stars Bourgeois and Maurice are a musical duo with style as sharp as their wit.

Part cabaret, part theatre, part catwalk freak show Bourgeois and Maurice merge bitingly witty original songs with slanderous gossip and a truly staggering collection of outfits. With irreverently witty and glorious offensive lyrics, B&M's music explores the mundane absurdity of modern life & wraps it up neatly in a catchy pop hook.

"Bourgeois and Maurice are absolute filth. I love them!" Beth Ditto, The Gossip

Dickie Beau
London-based performer and intrepid drag fabulist, Dickie Beau, is a postmodern cultural pickpocket, maverick theatre-maker, actor and twisted video star, looting a range of traditions, from low culture to high art, in the creation of distinctive performance experiences.

"Sublime, funny, moving, tragic and darkly poignant. Dickie Beau breathes electrifying new life into an age-old art form. Modern, retro and utterly relevant to the ailments of today, he's a star of the future."

Kitty Bang Bang
Kitty Bang Bang is the whiskey-soaked, firebreathin',chopper ridin' Wild Child of British Burlesque. A cabaret chameleon, she manages to encompass both traditional '50s glamour puss and the electric energy of rock n roll. Kitty has performed around the globe and continues to tour extensively,taking vaudeville to new and exotic locations.

"a mischievous, possibly illegal marriage of classic catwoman and 1960s go-go stripper, all Marcelwaved hair and undulating eroticism"

Jess Love
This whirlwind of energy is Australian circus dynamo, Jess Love. A veteran of companies including Circus Oz, Circa and The Candy Butchers, she has recently returned from starring in La Soirée at the Sydney Opera House. Jess has an array of traditional skills to her name but a very unorthodox approach to using them. She's a sassy physical comedienne with a cute-as-a-button demeanor, who neverthelees tips a cheeky wink to the twisted soul of burlesque.

"Hula hoop master and comedic genius"
