BIG GAY AFTERPARTY

Queer, chic and outrageous – you're invited to the biggest, gayest party at the Fringe (fun straights allowed). Indulge in the hottest pop-up cabaret experience on Cowgate with a rotating selection of the most electrifying and scandalous performers at the festival. Curated by 'demonic David Bowie' Aidan Sadler (Fest), this is where artists, dreamers and vagabonds drink, make mistakes and dance until the wee hours.

“A vivaciously vibrant, fervently funny, and fantastically frenzied cabaret hour with a constantly charismatic host”

“Sadler has the visual aesthetic of a being beamed directly to us from another planet, but also the musical chops to go with it”

Synthwave. Stand up comedy. The end of the world!

Join award winning queer cabaret icon Aidan Sadler as they take you on a 'fervently funny' joyride into the apocalypse!

Featuring electrifying original hits you’ll be humming to armageddon, Melody answers the question to the highly anticipated question 'can we stoop any lower?'

The Wee Review

“AIDAN SADLER IS A STAR AND AN IMPECCABLE PARTY HOST”

Theatre Weekly

Synthwave. Stand up comedy. Gender Bending nonsense!

Nothing is safe from ridicule so be led on an exploration of body image, heteronormativity and sometimes wearing a dress round the house on a muggy day.

Here, you'll experience belting synth-pop nostalgia punctuated with world class stand-up comedy. Featuring electrifying hits from Spandau Ballet to ABC, Tropicana makes its debut in Wales from two smash hit Edinburgh Fringe Runs, a national tour and a central London residency to explore, bend and abuse the gender binary.

“Tropicana is a delightful slice of queer cabaret, with Aidan bringing an almighty euphoric energy to the fold. The performer charms with their vocal ability and musical swagger, yet proves equally endearing when delving into sharp anecdotes or personal revelations. Tropicana is pure heaven”  Culture Fix
