Chester's monthly queer cabaret night with drag, burlesque, live music, comedy and sideshow, hosted by Mr Brake Down and Miss Cherry Good.
The Upside Down Cabaret returns to The Live Rooms on Wednesday 25 November, this time under the title November Nostalgia. It's Chester's monthly queer cabaret night, and this edition keeps the usual mix: drag, burlesque, live music, comedy and sideshow, all on one bill. The night is run by the self-styled King and Queen of Chester Cabaret, founding father and TV's Mr Brake Down alongside panto and Pride sensation Miss Cherry Good, who host the whole thing.
On the bill are the regulars: Kitty De Vyne, Rachel 'Foxy' Fox, Miss Hertz, the ladies of JazKit Burlesque and the Doom & Glitter House Band, with guest performers coming in from across the UK to join them. The night blends drag, burlesque, live music, comedy and sideshow, and the organisers describe it as a queer cabaret night that brings those things together into one electric evening rooted in inclusivity, creativity and audience connection.
The venue is The Live Rooms on Station Road, the city's largest independent live music venue and nightclub, sitting centrally near Chester railway station. Its main room has hosted some of the biggest names in live entertainment across a range of genres, while a side room allows for smaller, more intimate shows and an upstairs balcony looks over the floor, with a VIP bar and seating areas. This particular night is held in Room L1.
