A man's face covers almost the entire image, his mouth agape, his glasses covered in sheet music. From his mouth pours out a ton of images flooding the screen, playing cards, champagne glass, Shakespeare's head, a pair of apples, a globe and many more images.

  • Written and Performed by: Nicky Lah

Desmond Cabaret brings a slice of art and culture to this god-awful city. A city riddled with fraudulent artists high on horse tranquillisers who do nothing but complain about how this beautiful world is an ugly and scary place. Come follow Desmond through a repertoire of his favourite continental singers, the likes of Jacques Brel, Charles Aznavour and Screamin’ J Hawkins. Directed and produced by Desmond’s wife Alotta Cabaret, this show is for all those conditioned to hold their tongue, those still brewing in the psychological abuse rendered to them from those above. A mixture of cabaret, comedy and sideshow, come, sit back, relax and let Desmond Cabaret tug on your heart strings as he punches you in the face.
