John Waters was right: the world of heterosexual truly is a sick and boring life! Full of shame, fear of being yourself, and pretending you care about Angela's snotty children.
For one night only, leave it all at the door! Powdered Sugar, London's favourite gender-fluid dumpster fire and award-winning brat, together with a cast of London cabaret icons, is here to rid you of your shame - one sparkly outfit at a time! Expect bare souls, bare holes, and your next story to tell your co-workers*
*Powdered Sugar is not responsible for the consequences of you sharing stories of their cabaret antics with your co-workers!

- Cayman Islands' first burlesque temptress: Alexandria St. Payne
