le scandal

A burlesque extravaganza packed full of theatrical glamour, vaudeville humor and exquisite tease…

Fletch’s production of Le Scandal recently enjoyed a very successful 14 night run at Brighton Fringe Festival. The show was tailored specifically for a UK audience made up of a cast of 15 high-end performers - 9 New Yorkers and 6 Brits. The cast were hand-picked by Fletch and included: 3 aerialists, an escapologist, an extreme juggler, a burlesque artist straight out of the 1930s, a singer/songstress, an acrobatic comedy burlesque duo, glamorous showgirls that welcomed guests on arrival and four piece gypsy-punk honky-tonk sing along band called 'The Gents' that covered tracks from Kylie to The Kaiser Chiefs, Talking Heads to Dolly Parton, Elvis to Britney Spears. 

The unique combination of New York’s finest variety acts coupled with a fresh and exciting UK band and showgirls to boot saw audiences crying with laughter, whooping, gasping and fighting to get their hands on a kazoo (it’s a Fletch thing).

“Our friends from across the pond truly delivered. An exotic selection of acts, providing a heady mix of laughs and spectacle. This show has all the wow-factor and star quality one would expect from a headline draw” FRINGE REVIEW

“The show was stolen by a heart-stopping display by circus performers Arial Duo: to a pounding soundtrack, they laid on minute after muscle-popping minute of the most impressive acrobatic rope-work I've ever seen.  Le Scandal is loud, raucous, and tremendous fun; I can't think of a better way of topping off my trip to Brighton” FRINGEGURU.COM

“Walton's freakish straitjacket-and-sudoko routine must be seen to be believed” THE ARGUS

Nomination for Best International Act – BRIGHTON FESTIVAL FRINGE 2008
