Variety returns to the West End
As well as a packed schedule in his capacity as the scene’s pre-eminent lobber-and-catcher of balls, boxes, pins, blades, wine glasses and bowling balls, Mat Ricardo has popped up on TV alongside Jonathan Ross and Alan Titchmarsh, as well as doing his patented reverse-tablecloth-pull on an income-protection ad.
A cabaret star is born
When Time Out & Soho Theatre launched TO&ST: the Edinburgh Cabaret Award, we set out to find an electric talent who could serve as an ambassador for the best in contemporary cabaret to a general audience unfamiliar with the form. A tall order? Yep. Tough competition? Sure. Did we find a winner? Oh, hell, yes – we found Lady Rizo.
Sleazy does it
From its beginnings in late 2011, it was clear that ‘Sleaze’, at Camden’s Lockside Lounge, was a bit special. Conceived by supersmart shock merchant Mat Fraser and saucepot Trixie Malicious – joined by Hit Man Hearn and Miss Cairo – its deliciously scuzzy mix of go-go dancing, games, fun, art, smut, satire and tits soon found an appreciative audience.
The highlights of cabaret in 2013
Boredom, nudity, Céline Dion, nine-year-olds and ‘trannies with fannies’ – 2013 will be another provocative year in cabaret. Take a look at the acts Ben Walters is especially excited about.
