Bar open from 7pm, entertainment starts at 8pm.
A cheeky variety night of high art antics with low art frills, featuring twirling tease, puppetry, dance, jazz, ranting and so much more…
Bored with cooking the same old dishes for a bunch of thankless youngens? Tired of looking at the same old scene? Take a well earned break from the cruelty of modern living as Mother’s Ruin comes to Manchester.
A cabaret-cum-variety show that’ll give you something to talk about… where high art aspiration schmoozes with low art common sense to provide exceptional merriment for anyone in search of a touch of unadulterated escapism and a taste for the shared experience.
Presented in promenade, the show takes place all around the greenroom bar guided by your inimitable bearded lady hostess Timberlina and local Jazz troupe Quartertime.
Prepare yourself for a square meal of cabaretic treats, with an exotic tease-fest from The Alternative Miss World herself- Fancy Chance. And puppetry genius Nathan Evans presents, for the first time ever in Morrissey’s home town The Smiths: The Musical.
Mundo Jazz preach peace, love and understanding with all the subtlety of a brick hitting butter, through their ridiculously catchy songs, awful dancing and thunderously crass philosophizing.
A beautifully subtle satire on the likes of Bono and Bob Geldof, Mundo Jazz are also superb musical and comic improvisers, frequently creating songs on the spot and veering off into spontaneous chaos. Worried about your carbon footprint? Don’t bother, you can buy one of theirs after the show…
So drown your sorrows, meet people who care and share your own want for something a little different, a little brighter, to provide the antidote to feeding those incessant children and dealing with the trials of our times..
Presented by a bunch of artistes from London’s murky fringes screaming for their big break in Manchester’s heady Music Hall scene… with the help of a local jazz band!
All this for a fiver! Better still £4 for concessions. Entrance is paid cash on the door. If you want to bring a group, email your reservation to mothers.ruin.cabaret@googlemail.com.
