What is it: The Cabaret Festival plays host to numerous cabaret & burlesque events, intended to be Glasgow's new annual Burly Fest!
Where: Various Locations around Glasgow
Here's where Lilly ventured to for the first Cabaret Festival.
Supper Club Cabaret @ Mamasan
Where: Mamasan, Bath Street Glasgow
Lilly Says: A good classic "dinner & a show" scenario. Mamasan provides the menu (a small selection of Chinese & Thai cuisine) & Ryhmes with Purple Productions provide a wonderful burlesque/cabaret show with singing & Striptease...perfect!
Rockaburly @ The Classic Grand
Where: The Classic Grand, Jamaica Street Glasgow
Lilly Says: The ultimate Rockabilly night out! Created by two great performers (Daiquiri Dusk & Cat Aclysmic) this night provides you with great tunes, great shows & a great atmosphere! I just wish the night lasted longer (note: if you're not into metal music I'd recommend vacating the Classic Grand as soon as rockaburly finishes!)
The Missy & Leyla Show @ ABC
Where: ABC, Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow
Lilly Says: As the Headline event of the Festival, if you were going to make one event, it had to be this one! A fine mix of Burlesques finest, circus, comedy (Desmond O Conner is an act that should be illegal to miss!) and good ol' fashioned audience involvement (with some rather good prizes to be won!) A truly marvelous show to celebrate the success of the Festival!
Festival Verdict: An utterly amazing week!! I know I'll be there next year & I suggest you get yourself there too!!
