La Clique

The sexy, spell-binding circus of chaos is back! What started as a four week-long residency at London's historic Hippodrome at the end of 2008 snowballed into nine hedonistic and addictive months. Since this jaw-dropping show finally closed their doors in June, there's been a noticeable hole in London's cabaret and variety circuit. Happy news, then, that La Clique are returning for an eight week-long residency (but let's hope it's longer than that, eh?) at The Roundhouse over Christmas. Cherry-picked from London to Australia via Norway, Germany and America, the La Clique family includes Freddie Mercury-obsessive Mario Queen of the Circus, French-Irish chanteuse Camille O'Sullivan, sword-swallowing, Latex-loving Miss Behave, eye-watering contortionist Captain Frodo, sensational sassy hula hoopist Marawa, supremely athletic English Gents, and that bloke in a bath David O'Mer, as well as many others. The line-up changes regularly so is worth seeing again.
