Aidan Sadler is an "absolute tornado of a cabaret star", as well as producer changing the face of the cabaret industry. Described as a “Demonic David Bowie”, they made their debut at Edinburgh Fringe 2021, where they went on to sell out, extend and win "Best Solo Act" at The Scene Alba Awards. Since this, Aidan has toured nationally, storming stages from Manchester to Brighton with their individual style of chaos - recently returning for another smash-hit Edinburgh run.
