Madam Lola's Cabaret & Vaudeville

Madam Lola's Cabaret & Vaudeville is back at Madam Lola's on Friday 14 August, part of a run that keeps going until 19 December. It's the venue's own night, and the room it's in is one of Brighton's most recognisable Grade II listed buildings, tucked under a copper dome at 83 St George's Road.

Every weekend the space turns into a cabaret club, and the show is built around a rotating cast rather than a fixed line-up. You'll see live vocals, drag, aerial performance, circus artistry, sideshow specialists and shock acts, all put together as a full production show. The performers don't just stay on stage, either — they move through the crowd, so the action happens around you as much as in front of you. The night doesn't end when the show does: DJs take over, people dance on the tables, and signature cocktails are served from velvet booths.

It's a strictly 18+ venue, and the show may contain adult themes, sexual content and wet acts. The house style encourages guests to dress well and stay late, so it's the kind of night that works best if you're planning to make a proper evening of it. Standard tickets are £35, with prices varying across the run. The show runs from 14 August through to 19 December, with times changing from week to week.
