West End Cabaret is a revival of local artists working to local audiences, being paid in local dollars and obtaining a local fan base. It is a spectacle in an intimate space. It’s a little bit carnival, a little bit circus, a little bit poetic, a little bit tragic and always funny. West End Cabaret provides an inexpensive night out, with plenty of opportunity to socialise with neighbours in the unpretentious, easygoing surrounds of a local community hall.
