Send in The Clowns: Unpopular!

Fri 20 Mar

Send In The Clowns is a filthy, outrageous, and joyful revue show celebrating the magic and madness of musical theatre.

This time the Clowns are taking on the megamusicals of the 80s, 90s, and 00s in their biggest show yet, UNPOPULAR! We’re talking big blockbuster musical theatre spectacle – think mechanical barricades, all-singing revolutions, flying helicopters, web-slinging spidermen, and belting witches flying on broomsticks; all in a tiny black box theatre. What could possibly go wrong?!

Join your host cabaret superstar Fatt Butcher (from The Voice UK and winner of Drag Idol UK), and ‘incredible vocal powerhouse’ (West End Best Friend) alongside a stellar line-up of the midlands’ finest drag & cabaret talents including Dahliah Rivers, Blü Romantic, and Alanna Boden. Expect unique takes on favourites from Wicked, Hamilton, Les Misérables, Miss Saigon, Chess, and many more bastardised beyond belief.

Send In The Clowns: Unpopular! promises an unforgettably raucous show packed with outrageous comedy, spine-tingling live vocals, camp cabaret, & sing-a-longs. Each show ends with the unmissable ‘twenty minute musical’, a drag recreation of a legendary musical rehearsed in two days and performed in 20(ish) minutes – chaos is guaranteed!

Suitable for ages 18+. Contains strong language, sexual references, audience participation, and an inordinate amount of d*ck jokes.
