Cabaret Provocateur Shows

The unfiltered heart of the West End, unleashed across the UK.

As an independent production company founded by top UK performers, we know how to put on a show. We take our time to curate line-ups which are overflowing with the talent.

 

A cabaret provocateur show is a celebration of the extraordinary, reimaging it for a modern audience. We Honour the provocative truth of the 1920's underground scene of Berlin, while indulging in the glamour that Dita Von Teese has made world-famous.

​

The artists we choose will transfix you with their beauty, have you howling with laughter, and leave you gasping in shock. From spellbinding vocals to boundary-pushing variety and circus, we bring the extravagance of the city to local stages across the UK.
 

Expect an interactive evening where there are no "safe" seats. Discover a love for Drag Kings & Queens, Burlesque and Boylesque, Circus and Variety! You'll be part of the magic as we break the fourth wall, inviting you to sing your heart out, gasp in shock, and escape your day-to-day worries with our immersive mischief.
