Our regular night to showcase work from the cutting edge of London's underground performance and art scene is back for another beautiful, messy and full-throated season of entertainment.
Don’t miss the all-singing, sometime-dancing, spirited chaos of Midgitte Bardot and some special guests from the worlds of Live Art, dance, drag, music, and radical hoo-ha.
Midgitte - the hilarious, subversive drag alter-ego of the supremely talented performance artist Tamm Reynolds - has been performing across the UK cabaret, live art, drag, theatre and club spaces since 2016. Midgitte Bardot’s Personal Spot is an evening of drag, performance art, radical weird stuff, liberation from today’s costly world, and a place for performance to buffer and polish.
The show is Midgitte attempting to find herself whilst entertaining you most of the while. Then acts from the city and beyond (amusing you, titillating some, confounding and shaking others to their core).
Co-curator and Host: Midgitte Bardot
Co-curator and Producer: Willy Amott
Thursday 10 April line-up:
Kicking off with enough bang to make your buck feel tingly, Midgitte Bardot’s Personal Spot returns for its second season on Thursday April 10th – and look who we’ve booked for you!
