It has begun, and long may it continue! The Black Cat is now well and truly settled in at the Café de Paris, having sold out every single one of the three shows since it began on the 11th of January. The audience loves it and the company are well pleased. The Black Cat remains impassive but we suspect that the whisk of his whiskers and his lazy meowing tells of deep satisfaction.

Acrobats rub shoulders with very serious Austrian mime artists, sideshow pig men swap make-up tips with ravishing burlesque artistes and the world is turned on its head by the most incredible reverse striptease ever conceived. Fall into a 21st Century Toulouse Lautrec painting with us, Friday at the Cafe de Paris until the 22nd of November 2013.
