Sabrage is an entertaining night of good, not-so-clean fun at London’s Lafayette – review

admin, , , ,

We’ll answer your first question right away: ‘sabrage’ is the term for the ceremonial opening of a bottle of champagne using a sabre. And if your next question was going to be ‘do they do this in the show?’ then the answer to that is… well, of course they do. With that out of the way – what is the show Sabrage all about? Well, it’s a semi-immersive experience, which is part cabaret night, part circus show. Expect an evening of singing, comedy, dance and a whole host of acrobatic…

WORDS BY ZOYA RAZA-SHEIKH PHOTOGRAPHY BY JAMES KLUG In 2023, GAY TIMES sought out emerging queer photographers and help them break into the world of arts, media or advertising.  The lack of funding and opportunities in the arts is one of the key reasons we see a shortage of LGBTQIA+ representation in media and advertising.

Briefs: Bite Club is a unique concept and great fun – review

admin, , , ,

We’re not quite sure how to explain Briefs, for those who’ve not seen the Australian troupe before. It’s quite the theatre spectacle – part burlesque, part cabaret, part circus, part comedy and a whole lot of fun. For their new show Bite Club they also have a live band, fronted by vocalist Sahara Beck who performs a number of original songs. During the show they describe the performance as a series of real-life music videos and that’s a pretty good summary – each song is accompanied by something unique and…

Red light bathed the corridors and Cabaret stars lurked around the reformed stage as the audience piled into the pop-up KitKat Club. Expectations around the adaption of the legacy musical…
