What is it?

From the opening film of young ladies enduring one of modern society’s more brutal beauty procedures, to a series of surreal and occasionally spooky sketches, The Mad and Ugly Show is a provocative and subversive showcase of theatrical acts full of black humour, creepy individuals and mesmerising characters.

This eccentric cabaret show includes Alice and Alice, where C S Lewis’s Alice reflects on herself and sees her darker side and The Mafia’s Wedding, where a desperate pregnant bride needs a husband, bridesmaid and priest to placate her unhappy father, The Don.
