The Black Cat Cabaret Brings a Sparkle to the Streets

Leicester Square will be lit up this Christmas with a light dusting of glitter and sparkles, courtesy of The Black Cat Cabaret. The show, inspired by vintage, after-hours Montmartre, will feature showgirls, acrobats, comic street singers, musicians and aerialists. The Black Cat’s “compère beyond compare” Dusty Limits will whisk guests away to the streets of Paris, treating them to dizzying heights, original music and after-hours comedy, starting on 11th November.

Guests will be asked to sit back and relax in the wooden-panelled, 1920’s Paradiso spiegeltent which will play host to a combination of Cabaret starlets, musical divas and comic acts throughout the evening. Meanwhile, outside London’s iconic Leicester Square will be transformed into a traditional European Christmas market where guests can enjoy a selection of hand-crafted goods and tuck into festive treats.

Further to the five festive dates across November and December, The Black Cat Cabaret are bringing a tight-roped twinkle to New Year’s Eve with an extra special soirée – The Black Cat Ball. Visitors can expect a cabaret show and promenade circus spectacle presented by Dusty Limits and live music from carnival show-band extraordinaire Tankus the Henge. What’s more, The Black Cat Dandy DJs will be on hand to keep guests dancing into the new year. The Black Cat team are asking revellers to don their glad rags and abide by a glam dress code of ‘gold, red or black; silver-screen sirens & dapper gents’. Tickets include entry and a glass of bubbly on arrival.
