Little Death Club heads to London

By Caroline King - April 11, 2019Posted in : Cabaret

What promises to be the darkest, funniest and most debauched variety show this side of the Berlin wall is heading to London with a new travelling family of misfits, miscreants and fantastic freaks.

Little Death Club and the award-winning Queen of Weimar punk kabarett, Bernie Dieter, will be heading to the Underbelly Festival on London’s Southbank.

Bernie Dieter, much-loved Mistress of Chaos, will be joined by whisky-soaked, fire-breathing, utterly bad ass bearded lady Kitty Bang Bang; character comedian and disgruntled mime Josh Glanc; the unique vocal stylings and razor-sharp wit of Myra DuBois; gender bending contortionist and phenomenal aerialist Beau Sargent; and pocket rocket, hair hanging supremo Fancy Chance.

Blending sequins and satire with a cut-throat wit, and a deviant eye for debaucherous mayhem, Bernie Dieter will be aiming to shake up the Southbank. There’s a drag queen draped across the bar, a morose mime drowning his sorrows in a bottle of red and a bearded lady dancing in the shadows as Bernie sips her gin and surveys her prey.

Join Bernie in the Spiegeltent for a hazy night of kabarett, circus and a fire-breathing sideshow at its most inappropriate and provocative and best. With a fully original gin soaked, Weimar-punk jazz soundtrack by Bernie Dieter and the Vier, this is the Little Death Club where you can be whoever you want to be… There is no fourth wall, no rules and no seat is safe in this dark and defiant den of iniquity.
