East End Cabaret: Perverts! | The Pleasure Gardens | Until Sunday Jan 31 | ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
This hilarious duo have coming to Fringe World for a few years now but this was the first time we’ve gotten a chance to fit them into our crowded schedule, and they certainly live up to all the hype – and then some!
Eastern European chanteuse Bernadette Burn and her sidekick, the faux-bilateral hermaphrodite Victor Victoria, deliver an action packed outrageous show that is filled with laughs, shocks and great tunes.
Bernie and Victy work like a syncopated clock delivering their clever one liners, squeals of delight and tales of depravity. There’s no limits in this show as they talk about over the top sex, orgasm faces, German techno, and hiding in closets.
These two outrageous characters are performed at 110% and it’s a captivating experience and your attention bounces between the two.
The original songs are simply brilliant. Their clever, witty and memorable. I’m still singing their tune ‘Danger Wank’ – and it’s never it an appropriate place. (fitting for the tune really).
If you want to see a show that you’ll remember for years to come, delivered by some of the best cabaret stars in the business – do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars: head straight to the box office and get a ticket. This show is brilliant.
Can’t wait to see their new show ‘Yetti Dive Bar’ next week.
