Britain's What's On Event Guide
Crying Shame
Winner of the Charlie Hartill Fund 2024, Crying Shame is a cabaret show-cum-wellness journey all about loneliness. In the dusty dreamscape of Club Fragilé, you’ll encounter washed-up cabaret acts, filthy lip-syncs and a joyous celebration of queer culture, as these camp clowns try – and possibly fail – to connect with each other and the audience. You might be lonely, but you're definitely not alone.
Devised by emerging queer theatre collective Sweet Beef, who work to explore socio-political issues with a healthy dose of audience interaction and comedy, and originally developed as part of the Stanley Arts x Raze Collective’s Queer Commissions, Crying Shame explores the isolating effects of the pandemic and the cost-of-living crisis on our mental health. The show asks us to try and combat isolation with community and creative joy.
