Born out of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2004 in a genius moment by David Bates, owner and producer of The Famous Spiegeltent, La Clique has gone on to global acclaim and sell out audiences across the world, including Sydney, New York, Montreal, Brighton, Adelaide, London and of course Edinburgh. La Clique returns home to the scene of the crime - Edinburgh - for a very special seasonal treat: La Clique Noël.
With its dysfunctional collection of extraordinary new artists and don't-miss favourites, the show will feature a scintillating live band, Dannie Bourne and La Clique Palace Orkestra featuring Kelly Wolfgram and the best of the best in adult, genre-bending, New Variety from the subterranean world of circus, comedy, cabaret, variety, magic, burlesque and subversive performance clubs!
The acts include: the astounding Heather Holliday, fire-eating and sword-swallowing star of LIMBO at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2016, the one and only Scotty The Blue Bunny who has travelled the world with his special brand of spandex-clad spectacle, the versatile, bohemian beauty Vicky Butterfly, young German aerialist Tim Kriegler, the hula hoop master and man of many faces Craig Reid AKA Craig Strong Man, choreographer and performer with passion for the subversive and the absurd Leah Shelton, and Bernie Dieter, half of the award-winning EastEnd Cabaret, a musical comedy duo.
Cast subject to change.
David Bates said:
"We're coming home for Christmas! We've got some saucy seasonal treats in store for Scotland this winter with some new international acts that will bend your minds and bring the fishnets to your Christmas stocking!"
Charlie Wood and Ed Bartlam, Directors of Underbelly and Edinburgh's Christmas said:
"We want to offer audiences a five-star night out where the live entertainers will have them on the edge of their seats with their hearts in their mouths. La Clique is the best of its kind in the world and we're delighted they are going to spice up Christmas in Scotland's capital this year."
