I'm delighted to be selling tickets to the AJ Bell Fringe on Friday digital cabaret.

Join me for a 60-minute digital cabaret show on Friday 28 August at 9pm. The show will feature nine different acts and will go out live at 9pm BST, with tickets costing just £9 each (£1 less than the cost of the average Fringe ticket).

Whats my show all about?

Voted by Time Out London as one of its Top 10 Cabaret Stars, Le Gateau Chocolat is a one-man, larger-than-life musical phenomenon, wrapped in dazzling sequinned lycra.

The six-and-half foot tall, six-inch heeled, wig-clad wonder swings wildly from one end of the musical spectrum to another, from disco, opera, musicals and pop. 

Le Gateau Chocolat works extensively in contemporary opera, cabaret, theatre and circus. His award winning works have played stages across the world: Menier Chocolate Factory, London, Wroclaw in Poland, Cape Town, South Africa. Christchurch, Auckland, Melbourne to Sydney Opera House. Most notably his family show “Duckie” (Edinburgh Fringe 2018, Summerhall) earned a Total Theatre award.

He’s starred in Olivier award winning circus, La Clique. Worked with contemporary composers Julian Phillips, Orlando Gough, Jocelyn Pook in works at The Royal Opera House, Glyndebourne and Wigmore hall. Sung with Basement Jaxx at the Barbican. 

Recent theatre credits include Balladeer in Threepenny Opera, National Theatre. Daddy Brubeck, Sweet Charity, Donmar. Feste in Emma Rice's ‘Twelfth Night' at The Globe, 'Effigies of Wickedness' for the Gate Theatre/ENO, and at legendary opera house, Bayreuth in Wagner’s Tannhauser.

Who’s joining me on Friday 28 August?

The full line up for the next show on 28 August is Briefs, Stiff & Kitsch, Michael Odewale, Megan Shandley, Kid X, Farr Out, Craig Hill, Helen Duff, Alfie Ordinary... and your host for the evening Courtney Act.
