BBC’s Queen of the Edinburgh Festival
and original star of Olivier award winning
LaClique, Camille O’Sullivan enjoys a
formidable international reputation for her
intensely dramatic interpretations of the songs
of Brel, Cave, Waits, Bowie and more.
The multi-award-winning singer has stunned
audiences around the world with her 5-star
sell-out performances, including Sydney Opera
House, Royal Festival Hall, Royal Albert Hall,
Later with Jools Holland and recently won the
coveted Herald Angel award for her RSC solo
performance The Rape of Lucrece.
Camille recently performed with The Pogues
in London’s O2 Arena and was chosen by
Yoko Ono to perform Double Fantasy Live at
Meltdown, Royal Festival Hall alongside Patti
Smith and Sean Lennon.
Image: Steve Powell
First taken to Brighton hearts in 2004, Camille
subsequently won the award for best music act
and best international performer in 2005. For
these concerts Camille will be performing old
favourites and hidden gems selected from the
last 10 years of her performances.
Dark, sexy, fierce, amusing and mesmerizing
she transforms each song she performs into an
intense, emotional and theatrical experience,
inextricably drawing her audience into a world
illuminated by the dark and the light. Expect
joy and pure passion.
When she sings it’s as though her breath is
soaked in paraffin - one spark, and the whole
room would ignite.
– Daily Telegraph
She treats every song as an intense emotional
journey; hypnotic; such an outpouring of
passion you can’t resist being drawn into her
web.
– The Independent
A cross between Sally Bowles, Patti Smith & PJ
Harvey… a major star.
– The Scotsman
Ravishing; a superb performer and great singer...
The star is her singing voice: a deep, sultry
instrument that might have been created to
express desolate love.
– The Guardian

Join us for a heady cocktail of Bond girl
burlesque, comedy, skilled circus and show
songs, all served with a dash of titillation
and a double measure of glamour! Featuring
The Amazing Ari, Madame Galina & Cherry
Shakewell.
Globally respected and highly in demand,
Ari has a license to thrill and has long been
wowing crowds with his breathtaking aerial
performances which have taken him from
London’s West End, all the way to Sydney
Opera House.
Madame Galina, described by The Stage as
“Sensational... fantastically funny” and having
performed for the Queen, is a cabaret tour de
force, coming from Russia with love and a tutu.
Cherry Shakewell is an international burlesque
powerhouse and what she doesn’t know about
tassels and tease isn’t worth knowing.
Watch out for her deadly weapons! Plus
special guests including The Bombshell with the
Bullwhip, Ayesha H, the infamous Joe Black,
the inimitable Abi Collins and your sassy
songstress host Gracie.
Prepare to come away both shaken & stirred!
Funny and provocative in equal measures...
delightfully tongue-in-cheek! – This is Cabaret
It seems amazing no-one’s thought of this
before: a burlesque night set to Bond themes
with a gift of a title – Time Out

busy station with a suitcase. She’s on her way
Spiegeltheatre Company have created a
sensational piece of cabaret theatre that had
the sold-out crowd roaring with laughter one
minute and silent in awe at elegant aerial
acrobatics the next. – The Argus

What better way to welcome a new government

weirdos, a piano & several pints of prosecco?
Ready. Set. VOTE!
Featuring new songs alongside fan favourites,
The People’s Republic of Bourgeois & Maurice
takes the beating heart of modern-day
democracy, dips it in glitter and kicks it around

political party you can’t afford to miss.
Alt cabaret superstars Bourgeois & Maurice
have just 48 hours to create a show inspired
by the results of the UK General Election and
present their own manifesto for a brighter future.
A huge hit at the Brighton Fringe 2014, the
UK’s premier sequinned satirists return to the
Spiegeltent for one night only with this electionthemed mix of song, comedy and glorious,
glamorous anarchy.
It’s hard to think of any other act delivering such

From glittering TV stardom to

our screens for quite a while,
with only his glamorous assistant

In a bid to rekindle the nation’s

his return to the small screen;

game that style forgot, as
they roll back the years to a
pre-digital world of Mateus

butterscotch Angel Delight...
The legendary anti-drag queen David Hoyle
presents a very special performance. On a planet
of perpetual war and inequality David takes

Her legendary bingo sessions are beyond
slammin so prepare to grab your dabbers and
win top prizes! Along the way expect laughter,
sing-songs, dancing and a generous dose of
topical comedy. Performed by Christopher
Green.
Following a couple of late-night Channel 4
shows, Hoyle spectacularly killed the Divine
David off during a show at the Streatham Ice
Arena in 2000 and retreated to Manchester
for “a period of reflection”. He returned to
TV screens in 2005 in Chris Morris’ Nathan
Barley, then began performing live again,
under his own name.
Hoyle’s biting satire,
bravura costumes,
wicked comic timing and
compelling charisma
remained intact. As well
as the Royal Vauxhall
Tavern, with which he is
most closely associated,
he’s performed at the Soho
Theatre, Battersea Arts
Centre, National Portrait
Gallery, Tate Britain,
Barbican, South Bank
Centre and Victoria &
Albert Museum.

the Divine David whose lacerating social
commentary was offset by breathtaking
instances of self-recrimination.

Hoyle is back, all right.
Expect polemic, pathos,
provocative politicking and
high comedy... He is raw,
sometimes a bit frightening,
but also thrilling in his lookno-hands recklessness.

After last year’s fantastic visit to the Spiegeltent,
Le Foulard swooshes in from the continent
bigger, better and more artistic than ever.
Fresh from their Australian tour where they
played to sold out crowds and 5 star reviews,
Head First Acrobats are presenting their show
Elixir for the first time in the UK.
Three enthusiastic and acrobatic scientists
attempt to create the elixir of life. The mayhem
that follows is a perfect mix where physical
prowess meets physical comedy.
– Ripitup Adelaide
– The Clothesline
– The Advertiser
10/10 – Talkfringe
Elixir will take you on a journey into the realm
of impossibility, with some of the rarest and
most dangerous circus apparatus in the world.
These three have mastered circus skills thought
to be impossible,
they will make you
question the limits of
the human body.
Watch & be amazed
as they spin upside
down in the mesmerising roue cyr, jump
meters into the air
and perform backflips on the teeterboard and balance
upside down on
each others heads!
Voted in the top 10 Shows at Adelaide Fringe
Elixir is a gutsy
acrobatic show, with
hard tricks, sweat
and classic comedic
timing. More action
then a movie, more
laughs then a standup show and way
more fun than you
can imagine.

Come and be dazzled by this world-touring,
multi-award winning, multi-character, continentally-flavoured clown/art spectacular!
And this year, announcing a SPECIAL
SUNDAY PERFORMANCE IN FRENCH
(the language of art). Come and be internationally dazzled as our artist works her
physical magic in the UK premiere of a brand
new version entièrement en Français!
Starring a medley of characters, overwhelmed
by the love of a show-stopping song and
performed using only a scarf, this, Ladies and
Gentlemen, is an Art Show, made with love
by an idiot.
Hopkins is fantastic. – The Guardian
Magical, confounding and mad!
– Total Theatre
A beautifully rendered show about the performances of the self, poised on a knife edge

A hilariously fragmented hour of physical theatre, song and comedy... her immaculate movements sizzle with the best kind of suppressed

Both an analysis of the subconscious disguised as slapstick comedy, and a terse satire

beautiful synthesis of intelligent experimental
theatre and physical craft, even as it mocks its
excesses.

of erudite mayhem; George Egg - new wave
vaudevillian & eccentric prop comic – ‘hugely
inventive’ (The Times); and Dr Savage – lowlife
musical genius; a head on collision between Dr

act, with Miss Behave in The Crack and as a
member of variety troupe Slightly Fat Features
- award winning at Just for Laughs in 2014 and
a West End run in London last Christmas.
Renowned on the new variety circuit, he has a

that haven’t been performed for decades, and

at all. Oh, and one that killed a fellow juggler
in 1936. No biggie.

Our Perfect Child follows the making of a
psychopath through the journey of a young
boy’s life; observing how you and the people
around you carry psychopathic traits. The piece
acknowledges how the smallest things in the
process of growing up can influence psychopathic behaviours. Questioning qualities that
you the reader and the audience have and
exploring the morality into how anyone on this
planet may indeed, perhaps unknowingly, be a
psychopath. Heavily influenced by experimental
and Avant Garde theatre, Our Perfect Child will
take you on a complex journey as you explore
the evolution of the psychopathic mind.
Award-winning theatre company Rational
Madness bring a new version of Text by Paul
Levy - a short piece of theatre based on real
text conversations.
Clive: What’s up?
What happens when a couple in relationship
meltdown try to relight the fire via smart phone
intimacy?
Clive: Do I?
Text explores the world of texting and virtual
relationships, of intimacy, our loss of it and our
gain of newer forms of it. Text plays with communication and miscommunication. It is a dark
comedy of fingertips. Using film, dialogue and
physical theatre, Text is a drama of keystrokes.
Meet Clive and Chloe as they play the final
rounds in a game of digital win and lose.
Text has had audiences laughing and crying,
reaching for their “Like” button and fantasising

’COUNTER’ CULTURE:
INFINITY FOODS AND THE
PUBLIC HOUSE BOOKSHOP
£10/£8 conc | 14+ | 90 Mins
Wed 13 May 19:30 - 21:00
The Public House Bookshop ran for over
twenty years, hidden away down a tiny side
street in Hove and described by Ferlinghetti
as ´Brighton’s answer to the City Lights Bookshop. It attracted the likes of Alan Ginsberg,
Wiliam Burroughs and Ivor Cutler, was a portal for ‘subversive & dangerous’ literature and
was often the target of violence from the far
right. When the bookshop closed its doors in
1999 it was a tragic loss for the town.
Infinity Foods began in 1970 as a macrobiotic café on the university campus. 45
years later it is a Brighton landmark with a
workforce of a hundred, countless awards
under its organic, meat-free belt and selling
every flavour of tofu known to man. Brighton
simply would not be the same without it.
Tonight the stories and early history of
these iconic shops are recounted by their
co-founders (and excellent raconteurs), Peter
Deadman and Richard Cupidi, but beware
– this night may contain subversive tales of
explosions, narcotics and facial hair.

THE ROAD TO
UTOPIA

Wed 20 May 19:30 - 21:00
Imagine a world without government, crime
or pollution. Imagine a world where energy
is free to all and our streets and cities feel
like real, sharing communities. Imagine a
world where men finally take a back seat
& women are in charge. Hippy nonsense,
a mad utopian pipe dream or could it be
entirely achievable in our lifetime?
Robert Llewellyn (best known as Kryten in
Red Dwarf), Stevyn Colgan (QI elf), David
Bramwell (author of The No9 Bus to Utopia)
and Nicole Pohl (editor of Utopian Studies)
have explored their own ideas of utopia
through their novels, memoirs and journals.
Tonight they will challenge the popular
notion that the world is destined to go to
rack & ruin, in favour of a more optimist
vision for the future.
Mixing stories, philosophy, humour, minilectures and debate, Robert, Stevyn, David
and Nicole will share their research into
everything from free energy and a sharing
economy to a world matriarchy. In doing so,
they will re-invigorate your soul and send
you home in the knowledge that it’s going
to be ok after all (especially if you buy their
books at the end).

The
What is light, this invisible vibration that
informs us of the world it both creates and
powers? The more we know of it the more
profound is its mystery.
Polymath Gregory Sams is author of the book
Sun of God, natural food pioneer, creator of
the original VegeBurger and founder of the
world’s only shop ever dedicated to chaos theory. Tonight, however, Greg will be melding
the vision of the ancients with the discoveries
of quantum physics to help us understand why
light infuses all spiritual practice.
We will look at light through the eyes of Persian prophet Zoroaster, Egyptian pharaoh
Akhenaten and Plato – through spectacles
that have been clouded over for millennia.
When we explore our modern understanding of light, it becomes clear that these
ancients were speaking the same language
as today’s quantum physicists. And they
too recognized light to be beyond human
comprehension, in line with Richard Feynman’s famous quip that anyone who says
they understood quantum mechanics doesn’t
understand quantum mechanics.
Tonight you will understand why it is beyond
understanding, and that will make sense and
possibly blow your mind...

When Dynamite Boogaloo launched way back
then, it was very much an alternative to the
bland house music clubs of the era.
Worshippers at the Church Of Boogaloo every
Thursday night at The Joint were dressed up
and drenched in sweat, whilst working the
pole to a wildly eclectic mix of pop bangers,
disco classics and indie smashes. Remember Too Much Is Never Enough!

The English Disco Lovers Community Group
promotes inclusivity and diversity through the
medium of Disco! Since it’s inception in 2012,
the English Disco Lovers have grown into a
country-wide group, dedicated to promoting
equality. The slogan is ‘Don’t Hate, Gyrate!’
After selling out the Speigeltent 2014 in record
time we’ve invited them back for TWO nights!
They’ll be bringing out the glitter, placards,
and putting on their finest Disco clothes, and
playing the best music in town! And shaking
those buckets to raise money for good causes!

PLUS! DISCO LOVERS’ MARCH & DAYTIME PARTY!
We will be repeating last year’s fantastic
‘Disco March’ at The Fringe City outdoor
‘taster’ event on New Road in Central Brighton
before our evening gig on 3rd May. We had
a great time last year, and this year we will be
marching down to the Spiegel Pub and Garden, celebrating diversity with a daytime disco
session around 2pm. Come and join us!

Guilty Pleasures is London’s biggest, boldest,
brashest and best night out. Packed with
relentlessly-energetic DJs, acrobatic bedazzling
dancers, live bands and speciality performers
galore, for ten years it has established itself as
the capital’s number one top spot for a P.A.R.T.Y.
Playing the greatest musical smashers from
the pop and party spectrum, joining the dotes
between past & present. Depeche Mode to
Daft Punk, Buggles to Beyoncé, Wild Cherry
to Katy Perry, Hanson to Haim, Whitney to
Winehouse... all played with unabashed joy
and passion that’ll have you bouncing off the
walls and head over heels with excitement. It’s
what Saturday nights were invented for!
SPIEGEL LATE
Banging out the dance floor fillers on the
night will be Guilty Pleasures founder and DJ
Sean Rowley. Entertainment on the main stage
comes in the shape of our resident dance
troupes and cabaret superstars Sparklemotion
and Father Oates who will be on hand to
hear your sins in his confessional booth. Plus,
huge big bouncy balloons, and glorious glitter
cannon explosions!

The weekend starts here at the gorgeous
Spiegeltent with the Club Click DJs playing a
slinky mix of funky soul, R&B and dirty disco.
It’s infectious and theatrical and rousing and
makes you want to dance yourself silly!

Traumfrau’s queer disco for the unusual
crowd makes its Fringe debut in style(ish)
at the Spiegeltent. For one night only the
most colourful crowd in town takes over
the Spiegeltent for some uncompromising,
unashamed, glittery, imaginative, gender
bending and beyond dancing. It’s going to
be outrageously fun, disgracefully fun, seedy
and sordid.
@PleasuresGuilty
This unique party is a blend of disco, live
performance and art: get ready to enter a
parallel dancefloor reality, party time will
never feel the same again.
Dress Code: break all fashion rules – and
remember that more is in fact more!
Relax in our marvellous mirrored & velvet
booths – ales, fine wines and cocktails available until 2am. Decadent splendour, drinks
and dancing, who could ask for more?!
