Following their sold out, extended, award-winning Edinburgh Fringe run, Tropicana launches on a nation-wide tour! Hailed as the future of queer comedy cabaret and storming the UK circuit, Tropicana will be the most engaging LGBTQIA+ act of the year.
An exploration and unashamed assault on the gender binaries, featuring amiably anarchic stand up punctuated by electrifying 80s’ synthwave ranging from Spandau Ballet to ABC.
Drawing on their own tumultuous experience of being queer in a small industrial town, the audience is taken on a journey to the absurd and surreal mind of Aidan Sadler. Nothing is safe from ridicule such as body image, straight folk and the dreaded ASOS Gays!
Following the glowing, 5* success of Tropicana, Aidan is looking to branch out into original music and is currently working on their next project, Rat Catcher. This will be a one-person tour-de-force delving into their past as a straight-acting pest controller weekdays and Queen come Friday night. Since their début at Edinburgh Fringe, Aidan has also diversified into compèring, crowd work and unconventional performance art.
Approx running time 1 hour
All tickets include a £1 admin charge
Reviews
★★★★★ “Tropicana is a delightful slice of queer cabaret... almighty euphoric energy ... The performer charms with their vocal ability and musical swagger, yet proves equally endearing when delving into sharp anecdotes or personal revelations. Tropicana is pure heaven” - Culture Fix
★★★★ “A wonderfully camp, energetic and moving hour of music and comedy, featuring an absolute tornado of a cabaret star” - The Wee Review
"...the Gravesham-born cabaret artist leaves the audience wrapped around a gloriously glam finger, spinning the crowd like a mesmerising neon top from anecdote to revelation" - Drag and Cabaret MUST SEE - Scottish Woman Magazine
