Cabaret Extreme

Cabaret Extreme comes to the Bournemouth Pavilion Theatre on Tuesday 9 February 2027, starting at 7:30pm. It's a bit of a hybrid, described as a blend of burlesque, drag, extreme stunts and contemporary circus, so it doesn't really fit into one neat box. The whole thing is put together by the creative team behind some of the world's most iconic circuses, and that circus background runs through the whole show.

What it actually does is pull together a few different worlds that don't usually share a stage. You've got the sensual side of burlesque, the boldness of drag, the thrill of extreme stunts and the elegance of contemporary circus, all running together rather than as separate acts. It's a reimagining of variety entertainment, and the live band and vibrant soundtrack keep the energy moving through the different styles. The production side is just as big as the acts themselves: stunning sets, stellar lighting and spectacular special effects are all part of the package.

It's an 18+ show, so it's aimed at an adult crowd. Tickets start from £27, and it runs at the Bournemouth Pavilion Theatre on Tuesday 9 February 2027, with the curtain going up at 7:30pm.
