A sensational storytelling cabaret of drag, opera, pole dance and poetry celebrating queer and Black stories from award-winning performers. Your fabulous host for the evening is Rhys’ Pieces - rapping drag delight and one-person cabaret troupe giving you everything that’ll make you go ‘Woah! Wow! What?!’. Winner of LipSync1000 and QX Magazine Best Variety Cabaret Act 2019, they are one of the most significant cabaret artists in the UK. They are joined by Andrea Baker - mezzo soprano opera singer known for her ‘stupendous and heartrending’ talent (Bild Zeitung), her ‘luscious and full-bodied tone’ (Das Opernglas) and sharing stories and songs of the African American female voice; Divine Tasinda - dance extraordinaire, Briana Pegado - striking poet and movement artist, and Kheanna Walker - dazzling and gravity defying pole dancer. If you fancy unique storytelling perspectives, unrivalled skill and a good dose of dazzle… get yourself to the cabaret!
