Bawdsville – Dark Carnival

An evening of cabaret presented by Bawdsville

For it is time for the darkness and the disease to pervade your very souls.

This Halloween, the Dark Carnival is harvesting once again for a night of malevolent and murky endeavours.

Let your dreams be turned to darkness; let loose your inner demons for an evening of sordid bacchanalian treasures and some unfortunate cabaret pleasures.

With your Dark Ring-Mistress Natasha of ‘The Night’ and Resident Oddities Ophelie Frenchkiss, Little Madame & Miss Good Ness Gracious and Twisted Guests Lou Safire, Odelia Opium & Siobhan Firefly.

Joining the madness are the Bawdvillians – Lady Baps, The Great Topolski & Baby Plunga.

This is a past event
