Cabaret show by the trio Fascinating Aïda, with new songs generated by human neural networks, for ages 14 and over.
Fascinating Aïda are back at the Scarborough Spa Theatre on Saturday 20 February 2027, with their new show Bawdacious!. It's the trio's first time back on the road since their 40th anniversary tour, and they're bringing a brand-new set of songs with them.
There's a bit of a joke running through the way they're talking about this one. They've billed the new songs as being generated by "human neural networks," leaning on a combined "deep-learning age" of 278 years and data-mining their own back catalogue for what they call their most "sensationally analogue" show ever. It's their way of saying they've spent four decades together and are drawing on everything they've done to put this together.
On stage, it's the three of them — Dillie Keane, Adèle Anderson and Liza Pulman — with Michael Roulston on piano, and the whole thing directed by Paul Foster. They describe themselves as Britain's raciest, sassiest and most successful theatre cabaret trio, and the reviews tend to back that up: Metro called it "cabaret heaven," The Guardian described it as "outrageous... seductive," and The Daily Telegraph went with "hilarious." Stewart Lee summed it up as "Hips! Lips! Tits! Power!"

One thing to keep in mind before you book: the show is for ages 14 and over, with bad language and sexual references. If you're after a bit more comfort around the edges, there's a 1626 Suite upgrade available, which gets you early lounge access, a complimentary drink, a private bar and toilet facilities, a cloakroom, and lounge access during the interval. Doors open at 7.00pm, the show starts at 7.30pm, and it runs for about two hours including the interval.
