After Hours Cabaret Club – LOCK IN is a show that brings fun, improv, burlesque, circus, comedy and high-quality vocals in this versatile cabaret show with something for everyone!

The talented and regular performers like the wonderfully witty and pretty host Tash York and beautiful Bettie Bombshell are back this year, with other brilliant, engaging acts. They groove along to catchy jazz and pop songs that have the audience dancing in their seats and on their picnic blankets in this all-encompassing open air theatre performance at Gluttony.

Tash and Bettie Bombshell, who is Miss Burlesque 2019 and 2020, are the first to burst onto the stage demanding full attention in their opulent outfits as they dance and sing to the amazing live stage band.

After the luscious performance by Bettie Bombshell, who graced us with her majestic presence and amazing moves, audiences continued to be awe-struck at the sight of fierce drag queens, Kween Kong and Nastia Lookin, who had us shook! Our jaws dropped as we were all fascinated with their physical prowess, intimidating, funny and beautiful performances and personally, the best drag queens I’ve ever seen perform.

Miss Curvella set off fireworks literally and in the audiences’ hearts with her stunning, weird, sexy and wacky moves on stage – and it was a pleasant surprise. The show even had a cool circus act, including a questionably raunchy Elsa and Sven duet by the Head First Acrobats. The soundtrack of the night consisted of the live band, songs by Lady Gaga, En Vogue and improvised songs by Tash York. After Hours Cabaret Club is a fun and naughty R18+ show to see with friends, and even your mum – because After Hours is a must-see classic Fringe vibe, so why not?
