If the Brighton Fringe is a wild party, then Not Yours Cabaret is the glitter cannon that explodes right in the middle of it – fabulous, fearless, and utterly unforgettable.
Not Yours Cabaret created by Roisin Crowley Linton, is a riot of rebellion wrapped in sequins and sweat. This high-voltage showcase blends drag, pole, aerials, burlesque, and unfiltered expression into a night that’s raw, raucous, and ready to rip up the rulebook. Forget polished perfection—this is grit and glitter with heart.
Every performance is unique, every act a surprise. There’s no fourth wall here—just an open invitation to feel, scream, laugh, or cry. This isn’t just entertainment—it’s defiance with a spotlight.
Nora Ireland delivers old-school glamour with a deliciously unhinged twist. With hair so high it might have its own postcode, she commands the stage like a burlesque ghost from a haunted jazz club. Her act is elegance meets absurdity—poised, polished, and then just a little bit chaotic. She’s a showgirl you’ll never forget.
Lady Lazarus is a force of nature on the pole. Think divine vengeance meets athletic brilliance. Her performance was dark, sensuous, and spiritual—a resurrection in motion. She spins like she’s chasing demons and climbs like she’s about to meet them face to face. She doesn’t just dance; she exorcises.
Goblin is a creature all their own—gender-blending, norm-smashing, and utterly magnetic. With a performance that was equal parts mythic and manic, Goblin writhes, climbs, and hisses through the air with a strange and beautiful presence. They’re not here to please—they’re here to exist loudly and unapologetically.
This cabaret isn’t here to ask for permission. It’s a protest in sequins, a celebration of queerness, weirdness, and wildness. There’s a punk spirit in every spotlight, a sense that what’s happening here matters—because it’s telling stories too often left unheard. The crowd doesn’t just watch—they become part of it.
Reviewers Score: A glittering Five dazzling stars.
Reviewers Verdict: Not Yours Cabaret is bold, brash, and bloody brilliant. If you want safe, go elsewhere. If you want to be moved, shaken, thrilled, and glitter-bombed into next week—get yourself a ticket. This isn’t just a night out. It’s a night that stays with you.
