We’re delighted Myra DuBois will be joining The Wig Party this year!

Hosting in her own private Doll’sHouse/Boudoir! Expect cabaret highlights from her hit show ‘Aunty Myra’s Fun Show’ along with wiggy fun and a few surprises.

Myra Dubois is to children’s entertainment what Margaret Thatcher was to Free Milk. Now you can laugh along with Auntie Myra – madcap, soul-destroying mayhem featuring comedy magic, sing-along songs and half-arsed puppetry.

“Acid Tongued, funny to the bone” – Time Out London

“A big hit!” The Sun

“With hair piled as high as her heels, Myra DuBois is one of the most exciting faces in cabaret. Her sour expression, dark eyes and painted scowl are fitting complement to her caustic delivery, batting inspired cynicism with effortless spontaneity.” – Whatsonstage.com

Up & Over It is a collaboration between Riverdance alumni Suzanne Cleary and Peter Harding and video artist Jonny Reed. Stretching the concept of Irish dance to its limits, we mix it up with electro-pop, nouveau folk, alternative percussion, experimental video, contemporary dance and cabaret.

Jonny Woo is a unique performance artist who has been instrumental in bringing alternative drag and cabaret to mainstream audiences. Disciplined in theatre and dance, and inspired by New York performers his work is arresting, provocating, unpredictable and highly entertaining.

Hold on to your wigs, you are most definitely in for a treat this year! Book your ticket without delay and join us in Toyland.
