British comedy legend and Strictly Come Dancing winner Bill Bailey will bring his unique blend of satire and surrealism to London’s most spectacular cabaret experience, Cabaret All Stars at Proud Embankment for select dates this August and September.
Bailey promises to unleash revelry with his music, stories and dismantled jokes, crowd sing-alongs, weird instruments and musical showstoppers as he leads a cast of world-class cabaret, circus and burlesque superstars in an extraordinary show on in the heart of London.
His inimitable showmanship will sit alongside a heady mix of high-risk acrobatics, sultry traditional Parisian burlesque and sassy Vegas showgirls from the international talent that make up Cabaret All Stars.
Bailey said: “I am delighted to be part of this wonderful show, and excited to be performing some of my favourite songs in such a great cabaret setting among fire-eaters, aerialists, burlesque dancers… something for everyone!”
Audiences are promised an up close and personal night of laughter and luxury as Bailey performs a hilarious mix of fan favourites and new sketches alongside special guest, Swiss soprano Florence Hvorostovsky, to make this a truly sensational and memorable night.
CEO Alex Proud added: “I am thrilled & honoured to have Bill join our All Stars show, his distinctive approach to music and comedy that both mocks and celebrates our national identity offers something for everyone to enjoy after these challenging months.”
An evening of pure indulgence and escapism will unfold along with a scrumptious three-course Asian Italian fusion menu devised exclusively for Proud by world class head chef Antonio Vacca together with fabulous cocktails and first-class service.
Joining Proud’s fabulous hosts on stage, Cirque du Soleil performer Katherine Karpovich will perform her incredible aerial act, plus international and award-winning cabaret star Pi the Mime reinvents the art of mime, blending it with dance, drag, clown and burlesque. Darlings of the Moulin Rouge J’Adore La Vie will bring their haute couture burlesque to the party and the infamous international burlesque show ghoul, horror diva and Brazilian bombshell Marie Devilreux is set to astonish.
Missa will leave audiences stunned with her mind-blowing sword swallowing, in tarnation burlesque sensation Jake Dupree will set hearts racing and multi-talented Leonie Alert will be showcasing her dare-devil fire skills.
Bill Bailey will host the event on 11, 12, 18, 19, 25 and 26 August, plus 1, 2, 15, 16, 22 and 23 September.
