Charlie Bicknell & Louise Innes presents

Cabaret with Balls

Charlie Bicknell and Louise Innes invite you to join them for an evening which showcases their own inimitable mash of the irreverent and surreal. From Flashdance to Simon and Garfunkel interspersed with stimulating radio broadcasts from BBCs ‘Back Row’, expect AC/DC and even a throw-back to Not the Nine O Clock News.

Cabaret with Balls is a refreshing departure from real life and an arrival at the conclusion that it’s all bollocks anyway. Welcome back Benedict Cumberbatch and of course, Charlie will still be Holding out for that Hero...

“Charlie Bicknell and Louise Innes combine a gloriously dark sense of humour with amazing voices and extraordinary physical skill. A great fun night out not to be missed” – The Independent on Sunday

Continuing to work as an actress with leading roles in the West End, Royal National theatre, Birmingham Rep, Chichester etc and in TV and film, Charlie then moved into cabaret and circus, performing all over the world.
