WHAT: Voices of Evil
WHO: Lachlan Werner
WHERE: The Glory (281 Kingsland Rd, London E2 8AS) and Future Venues To Be Confirmed

OUR RATING: Do It!

A few weeks ago we ventured down into the basement of The Glory for a wild ride courtesy of a ventriloquist and their green faced witch puppet, Brew. We may have sold our souls along the way….

For those who may not yet be acquainted, allow us to introduce you to The Glory—a vibrant queer establishment nestled in the heart of East London. Renowned for its exuberant LGBTQ+ performances, underground club experience, and role as the creative force behind various events and festivals, The Glory is a gem that we’ve neglected for far too long. We extend our sincere apologies for the oversight. Whether you seek a pint or yearn for jaw-dropping performances that will leave you awe-struck, The Glory promises an unforgettable night out.

In “Voices of Evil”, Lachlan, a pale twink donning religious robes, has to deal with the troublesome and meddlesome witch, who invites the crowd to help in their demonic work in sacrificing virgin Lachy.

Every moment is hilarious, and Lachlan is a true performer in every sense. We have rarely seen ventriloquism in person, only in film and an iconic Tales From the Crypt episode. We were astounded by the level of talent in this show, and how we were riveted at every moment- the witch most assuredly had cursed us!

Eventually, the witch meddles too far and the poor virgin seduces the demon himself! This performance is a ridiculous and wild ride from start to finish, and when you think it can’t get any more barmy you are proven wrong.

“Voices of Evil” takes audiences on a mesmerising odyssey from beginning to end, serving as a remarkable tribute to the vanishing craft of ventriloquism. This production elevates an age-old talent, placing it at the pinnacle of exceptional theatrical artistry. We had the privilege of witnessing this show’s resounding success at the recent Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where it garnered effusive acclaim from prestigious critics and enjoyed an astounding surge in ticket sales.

Final Thoughts: Our deepest wish is that Lachlan receives a well-deserved respite after enduring such trials, only to return to London with an explosive resurgence, delivering repeat performances and even a thrilling sequel alongside our beloved witch, Brew!
