Closure Cabaret - Brighton Fringe
Closure Cabaret
Distinguished guests, lovers and exes, dreamers and ghosters – hold on tight as we try to let go. Tonight, Razmatastique, your hopelessly romantic French-accented emcee, brings past lovers back to the Closure Cabaret for one final performance.

From bad-boy playground pirates to emotionally unavailable illusionists, these heartbreakers return to the stage – jazz-handed into public inspection – to flaunt their most dazzling skills and questionable charm.

Created and performed by Maria Ansdell, this absurd clown show blends character comedy, heartfelt storytelling and uplifting audience participation turn longing into laughs.

"The room thrums with laughter... and encourages uplifting musings on the importance of self worth" - ★★★★ A Youngish Perspective
