The news will coincide with the launch of the new Kitty Fisher’s Restaurant in the venue.
Underbelly have confirmed that Bernie Dieter’s Club Kabarett will be the first production to open at the Underbelly Boulevard, Soho, from the 12th October for a limited 12 week run with tickets on sale now.
The Queen of Weimar punk Bernie Dieter finally returns to the UK after sell-out shows around the world with her luxuriously gin soaked, Weimar-punk evening of dangerously funny kabarett, breathtaking circus and fire-breathing sideshow at its most inappropriate, provocative and hilarious best.
Join über-award-winning kabarett superstar Bernie Dieter, her live band and travelling family of misfits, miscreants and fantastic freaks for an unmissable night. Soundtracked by riotous, witty, and hilariously defiant original songs.
The show will feature performances from:
Adam Malone
Running away with the circus at a young Adam is bold, brash and brazen, and what he does every night with his body will take your breath away.
Blue Phoenix
Winning Mr Pole Dance World in 2022, Blue is a phenomenon on the pole. With strength, beauty and grace, he does it all in 12-inch heels.
The Seifert Sisters
These girls do it all, and they do it all together. As a duo they have toured the world wowing audiences with their incredible skills in a huge variety of disciplines.
Joe Keeley
Blurring the lines of gender and gravity, Joe is a world-class aerialist you won’t be able to take your eyes off.
Bella Diosa
Bella has performed all over the world, and she is a fierce force to be reckoned with when she hits the stage.
Meanwhile, the venue has also announced further information on additional strands of programming that will sit alongside Club Kabarett, both as late evening residencies and daytime programming. This will include:
– Boulevard Presents. A curated programme of exclusive late evening live music from stars of the stage, screen and music worlds. Intimate, eclectic and unexpected.
–London Comedy Allstars. Underbelly’s flagship comedy brand, as seen on the Southbank, Earls Court and Cavendish Square, comes to Boulevard for a monthly late evening residency, with the finest of comedians performing in different line-ups each month.
–BATSU! Following ongoing residencies in New York and Chicago and a sold out run at the Edinburgh Fringe, the hit comedy experience that merges the Japanese batsu game with American improv humour, comes to Underbelly Boulevard. BATSU! features comedy warriors testing their improvisation wits to avoid painful, humiliating and ridiculous punishments. BATSU! (罰 or ばつ) is the Japanese word for punishment or penalty and is the foundation of the cross-cultural comedy show. In BATSU!, four warriors face off in hilarious challenges where the losers receive electric shocks, paintballs, and other jaw-dropping punishments.
–Circus Lates. Monthly residencies from some of the UK’s hottest circus and cabaret companies. Late evening spectaculars with DJs to keep that party going into the small hours.
–Kids DO Soho. Boulevard’s curated programme of exceptional family entertainment for toddles to teens. Cast off the shackles of conventional family shows and let your children run away to the circus, be amazed by magic, dance the ‘day’ away to live music and get inspired by the finest in family friendly cabaret. The Kids DO Soho programme will run at weekends with additional shows in half terms and school holidays.
Kitty Fisher’s Group, the team behind acclaimed Kitty Fisher’s in Mayfair and Cora Pearl in Covent Garden, will be opening their new restaurant, Cafe Kitty, in Underbelly Boulevard. They will be bringing their unique atmospheric hospitality and modern British menu to the theatre. Cafe Kitty will be open for lunch and dinner until late in the evening.
Ed Bartlam and Charlie Wood, directors of Underbelly, said; “We are beyond thrilled to announce our first headline show for Boulevard, our initial programming strands and of course our superlative new restaurant partner. Bernie Dieter’s Club Kabarett is a trailblazing and wild cabaret show, with infectious live music and world class circus skills at its core. It’s perfect for Boulevard and perfect for Soho. There is so much more to announce in terms of our wider programme but these first strands are part of our wider plan to make Underbelly Boulevard a thumping cultural centre in the heart of London, presenting the very finest in live entertainment in the most intimate and exceptional of venues. We are extremely honoured that Kitty Fisher’s Group have chosen Underbelly Boulevard as the location of their new restaurant in Soho. This is a perfect fit. There’s always been a touch of theatricality about their style and the combination of great shows and great food, all under one roof, is a really big WIN for the audiences that we look forward to welcoming to Boulevard from October.”
