Finger in the Pie Cabaret will be presenting the very best of contemporary circus, burlesque and variety this Summer, curated by our very own Associate Director – Jess Mabel Jones – freshly returned from taking New York by storm in the fantastic Beauty and the Beast.

From May to July we’ll have drag galore with unlucky in love showgirl Topsie Redfern and the mesmerising singer siren Lady Celeste. We’ll be welcoming the viciously indecent Myra Dubois as guest compere for the May cabaret before we hand back the reins to our blonde bombshell with the legs to die for Michael Twaits.

We bring you burlesque with a twist as we introduce the straight-jacketed Poppy Raine, red-hot magician Loretta von Dini and rapper with a pissed off pussy The Diablo Daniels. We’re serving up classic burlesque with cheesecake wonder Miss Amarettease, 50s sensation Betty Rogers and the dark and delicious Whiskey Roxx. You’ll be cramping with laughter at character comedienne Gabby Best, straight-talking Bisha K Ali and alien mess Mr Susie. And as if that wasn’t variety enough we’ve got a gaggle of clowns curtesy of the Galloping Cuckoos and international puppet master Alex Lehman. Not to mention a whole host of eclectic, beautiful and bizarre wonders, including the killer-voiced, foxy and up-for-it Itsy Bitsy and musical weirdos Joe deVivre and the Circle of Friend.
