EastEnd Cabaret
Expect risqué songs, over-the-top characters, gin infatuation, audience interaction and face licking.
Overview
An award winning musical comedy dubbed "a high-powered feminine 'Flight of the Conchords' dipped in acid and drenched in smut,” is making its New Zealand debut at this year’s Comedy Festival.
The cabaret character duo EastEnd Cabaret formed in London in 2009, performing original and improvised songs, stories, and the recontextualisation of other material. The over-the-top characters - Bernadette Byrne, a European chanteuse of unknown origin, and Victor Victoria, a faux-bilateral "hermaphrodite" - are now best known for their risqué original songs, character comedy, infatuation with gin, audience interaction and face licking.
The pair, along with their creative director and co-writer Tom Velvick, were the first cabaret act to be named one of the hClub100, awarded by The Hospital Club in 2013, and have been the recipients of countless awards for their shows, which unashamedly poke at the genre.
Their latest, Pervert, sold out its latest run through London, Edinburgh and the Melbourne Comedy Festivals and has been toted as: dark, hilarious and dangerously inappropriate.
