The Cabaret is run from the entirely volunteer staffed Cube Cinema. We're not as regular as we once were but we run the event once or twice a year when we have time.
Feel free to drop us a line and join the mailing lists, we will be in touch when we are actively working on an event.

Volunteering.
The Cabaret is run as a part of the Cube Cinema's entirely voluntary programming team. We pay all the acts but the event is produced and run by volunteers. If you would like to get involved with stage management, technical aspects, décor or administration we'd love to hear from you.
Although you can come and help specifically on The Cabaret of Curiosities alone, we would recommend you join The Cube as a general volunteer. It's a wonderful place full of interesting people where wonderful things happen. If you like to do that please email [email protected] and have at look at The Cube website.

Performing.
Sometimes we start with a theme in mind, or we'll book an exciting act and build it from there. As a rule we look for acts that are old-fashioned, Vaudevillian or classic cabaret in style, as opposed to live art, performance art or 'straight-up' music acts. That said we do like things a bit mad-cap. What makes us really happy is if something fits this atmosphere and is fitting for the theme. If we can't fit you in to the next event, we will keep you in mind for future work.
We are currently looking for some new acts and in particular some circus disciplines we haven't had as often before or for a while (hat manipulation, contact, possibly slack-rope/wire, roue cyr). We are particularly happy to people who would like to make something bespoke for the theme and are sometimes able to facilitate rehearsal time for this. We are a small capacity venue and therefore our budget is relatively low. The organisers and all staff at The Cube are volunteers, so no profit is made but all performers are paid.
Interested performers should read our info document and contact cabaret [at] cubecinema.com
It's really useful if you let us know the theme and mood of your act, what music you use and how long it is as well as the content.
Please have a look at the information in full before contacting us.
All the best, Zuleika and Richie
