OUR RATING: Chance It!
The Loco Cabaret is a rock/alternative drag and burlesque night for anyone with a penchant for glamour and filth in equal measure. As a fan of alternative and horror drag (give us an episode of Dragula anytime), we jumped at the chance to see the London premiere of Loco Cabaret.
Loco Cabaret performs bi-weekly in Kent, but in April of 2023 some of their performers journeyed up to Haggerston in East London. Hosted by the amazing Luna Howl, Loco Cabaret offers a hell of a night out, with a talented group of resident artists (and some guests!) that offer a variety of different performances, from femme fatale cabaret to gorgeously grotesque lip syncing.
Mesmerising and alluring, artists like Bunny De La Croix, Polly Anther, and Ramona Weapon ensnared our senses with their sultry and captivating acts, seamlessly intertwined with dashes of comedy and an abundance of audacious charm. SKET, on the other hand, enraptured us with an extra dose of eccentricity and a touch of whimsicality. However, the undisputed highlight of the evening was undoubtedly Lust, whose chillingly captivating lip sync performances devoured the attention of every individual in the room. While we arrived with a craving for the macabre, Lust’s presentation truly exceeded our expectations and left an indelible impression!
The Loco Cabaret have another London show coming up on 3rd August 2023 in Haggerston, and we really look forward to seeing another night of alternative drag and burlesque. Performer Jada Love looks like a promising contender for the weird and grotesque! The best part of all these shows is discovering new performers and talent, and also sharing the experience with everyone else in the room who also enjoy the horror, glamour, filth, and definitely the naughty!
