Review by Carly Fisher | 10 March 2023
It’s December 4 1933 and we are just an hour from the end of Prohibition. Set against this contextual backdrop, Gladys, the owner of the Tipsy Sparrow, has invited us in to toast the last 14 years, the figures that made it memorable and the songs written to celebrate and/or commemorate the event that has changed the face of America, Prohibition. Melanie Gall assumes the role of Gladys. No stranger to the cabaret stage, the Canadian singer instantly looks completely at home on the stage at The Jade. This is one of the lesser spoken about venues of the Fringe but it is so gorgeous that my advice would be to definitely ensure that you catch some shows there too - it is often the stand alone/lesser known venues like this that have the most spirit.
