The LipSinkers formed in Bethnal Green 20 years ago and have developed a cult international following for their own brand of action-packed cabaret performance encompassing regimented hoofing, slapstick, mime, communist discourse, A LOT OF DRAG and plain old kitchen sink experimentalism, all while mouthing the words.
