Unwrapped: a season of cabaret, comedy and drag

An unmissable holiday season this December at Bush Theatre

For the first time ever Bush Theatre brings you an unmissable holiday season of cabaret, comedy and theatre curated by Victoria Falconer, which runs from 10 – 22 Dec.

We’ll be serving up a multiplicity of artists, skilled in circus, puppetry, drag, political satire, making you laugh so much your sides hurt, and general “bad-assery”.

Victoria is an award-winning cabaret artist, multi-instrumentalist, composer and collaborator. She is twice winner of the Adelaide Fringe Best Cabaret Award (EastEnd Cabaret 2012 & Fringe Wives Club 2018), crowned one of Time Out London’s Top 10 Cabaret Superstars and named on the h100 list in 2014 as one of the top influential and innovative artists working in the UK creative industries.
