Cabaret Arena

Ever dreamt of 1950’s pin up girls bursting out of giant cakes and bathing in champagne? Britain’s famous Whoopee Club will make your dreams come true live in the Cabaret Arena. Established in 2003 and having performed at various events such as the Hackney Empire and the V&A museum, the Whoopee Club will bring joie de vivre back into our hearts through their fusion of burlesque and theatre.

Diminutive comedy burlesque star Fancy Chance is a hilarious yet irreverent glamorous tassel twirler from Korea via America. Coming from a background of cabaret, theatre and performance arts she was brought into ‘nouveau burlesque’ by legendary Miss Indigo Blue. Earlier this year she added to her wonderful career a winning title of the infamous Alternative Miss World award. “The undoubtable star… At times the coquette and at times the seductress, (she) steals the show…” – The Stage

eKat is Russian born and raised Ekaterina ‘Miss Coney Island 2007’. Now living in New York City, she has been performing since she put her first pair of fake eyelashes on aged just five years old. Her fabulous aerials, contortions and burlesque dancing routines have taken her from the pages of FHM magazine to the glittering lights of Off-Broadway. This time you won’t have to go to Coney Island to experience her fantastic energy live.

Born from the ashes of the Perverted Turkeys, Avis Cockbill and Janine Fletcher form The Two Wrongies. Together they re-interpret the classic double act in a witty, crude and sarcastic way that is so natural to women. Their absurdist humour and onstage relationship is not for the faint-hearted. They create work with comic prowess, inspired choreographed moments and a considered visual impact… they are ‘the double act who dare to do the dirty!

Canadian-born Ima Doll will grace the Cabaret stage with her sexy innovative pole dancing. Combining a wonderful selection of music with her powerful, strong routine, Ima’s twirling acrobatics will prove why she is the next best thing when it comes to exotic dancing.

Russella is a Drag-Queen Supermodel. Her grace and style has featured in a number of  fashion magazines and music videos. Her most recent glamorous appearance is on Paloma Faith’s video ‘Stone Cold Sober’. Russella is an experienced dancer and cabaret performer that Time Out has described as ‘‘nothing short of fabulous'’.

Beaux Belles are an all female dance troupe, their name is inspired by the Bow Bells of London and the famous Parisian dance troupe The Bluebell Girls. All professional dancers, they have performed tap dancing and burlesque routines for numerous high profile events. Their show never fails to entertain and impress and at the same time they seek to subvert the traditional expectations of showgirls, transforming them into an emblem of female power.

Cabaret star and burlesque choreographer Miss Lady G Luck always surprises the audience with her astonishing fire-breathing Egyptian curse or performing her incredible aerial rope act. Catch her in this den of iniquity!

Tightrope walker, Simon Deville, was originally with NoFit State Circus. His daring, high-wire routine is the first to be seen at Latitude.
