Celebrating the fools and the least “normal” acts in this year's Fringe programme, is Moulin Beige. To preface, there is nothing bland about this late night variety show! From the moment it begins, you are launched into an hour of fun-loving chaos. 


Hosting this metaphorical circus is the cabaret icon, Sharnema Nougar, who is absolutely hilarious at attempting to appear like the show is going to plan. Keeping the tomfoolery in somewhat check, is “producer” Nicola Pohl, Pinky Von Sox and the Jellyfish. 


From comedy to cabaret, audiences each night will be treated to a curated lineup of acts from across the fringe. Poking many funny stabs at the actual Moulin Rouge, I can guarantee you will have more outrageous fun here. The show brings the acts and the audience together for a wild ride. At its heart, it is there to celebrate the wild, bold and whacky artists that grace the Fringe each year. If you never know what show to see, I suggest starting at the Moulin Beige for an absolute riot!
