Hel Cabaret presents Harvest of Souls

Hel Cabaret are back at La Belle Angele on Thursday 29 October with Harvest of Souls, their celebration of Halloween and folklore. It's a double milestone for them: the night marks three years of the company, and it falls just a few days before Halloween itself.

On stage, they're bringing together Neo Burlesque, Gorelesque, fire, pole, and other provocative acts, all held together by a soundtrack of rock, industrial, metal, and alternative music. They describe the night as drenched in the colours of dying leaves, candlelight, fire, and blood, so it's a bit more of a themed affair than a standard cabaret night. It's a seated event, and it's strictly over 18s. There's no dress code, though they do encourage the audience to dress up if they fancy it.

There's a bar available on the night, and a few things to keep in mind before you head in: strobe lights and other effects may be used, and some of the performances may contain nudity. If you're planning on going, it's worth knowing that in advance.

Doors open at 18:00 and the show starts at 19:15, so you've got plenty of time to get a drink and settle in before things kick off. Tickets are from £16 to £20 via Skiddle, and the venue is La Belle Angele, 11 Hasties Close, off Cowgate, EH1 1HJ.
