Nonbinary diva and hairiest woman in showbusiness, LIV returns to London with their stunning showcase of drag artistry and entertainment - at none other than the Royal Vauxhall Tavern!

Cabaret Libert is an explosion of drag and queer performance where artists perform away from the confines of commercial entertainment. Our performers are given the stage, lights and audience to bring their greatest performance dreams to life WITHOUT having their bums pinched or needing to wish a Happy Birthday to Sarah, Sharon or Claire.

The show was first commissioned by the Norwich Arts Centre to breathe life back into the local drag scene after lockdown, Cabaret Libert has been touring cities around the UK since June 2021 including Norwich, Nottingham, Birmingham and London.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD
The Make A Difference Trust fights HIV & AIDS one stage at a time. Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
