Felix & Friends: Life is a Cabaret!
I'm feeling some jazz hands coming on… but I simply cannot do it alone!
Whether you’re a Sally Bowles, a Roxie Hart, or you're just here for the bathtub gin, join us for a night that celebrates the camp, the classic, the cosy and the downright cheeky. Brighton’s most chaotic cabaret returns for another glittery knees-up, this time tipping a sequinned hat to the golden age of variety with a thoroughly modern twist. Expect showbiz sparkle, lounge singer lunacy and a touch of tipping velvet.
✨ ON THE BILL THIS MONTH:
INGA ROCK
The Lithuanian doll with the (*ahem*) of an angel. Winner of The Next Drag Superstar, Inga is a livewire performer and dazzling designer who’s bringing her latest fever dream direct from Astral Resort. Expect glam, gags and gasps.
TAYRIS MONGARDI
She’s beauty, she’s grace, she’ll slap you in the face (with talent)! Big Drag Pageant champion and resident goddess at Revenge, Tayris brings high-octane glamour with a silly streak. Catch her while you still can!
GAYLIEN DE MARS
An interstellar drag shapeshifter who defies category and gravity. Winner of TITANS S1 and star of Unidentified Fluid Other, Gaylien is weird, wonderful, and worryingly talented. Prepare to be abducted!
JAMES O’DONOGHUE
The best depressed nonbinary Jewish Marxist comedian in Stoke Newington (and quite possibly beyond). Sharp and sardonic with an extra helping of absurd impressions.
“One to watch” - Aberystwyth Ego
“F*ckin’ awesome and looked great” - Tony Law
DONNA WILLIAMS
Award-winning writer, SYTYF semi-finalist and Komedia New Comedy Award 2025 finalist, Donna is a sharp-tongued, soft-centred stand-up who blends searing punchlines with big dyke energy. Bring your own toolbox!
🎙️ And of course, your hostess with the most secretions, FELIX LE FREAK: Drag Idol UK winner, part-time author and failed lounge singer. Expect musical meltdowns, crooning chaos and a deep distrust of musicals with happy endings.

Felix & Friends is Brighton’s lo-fi, high-camp variety voyage into the absurd. Expect drag, comedy and theatrical mischief. Audience participation is welcome in the form of gasps, whoops, or polite sobbing. Hateful or disruptive behaviour will be kicked into the orchestra pit.
So come on babe, why don’t we paint the town? 🖤
