Step into the glittering yet tyrannical world of Crown Cabaret this May with the extended premiere of Call Me Daddy - The Musical!

This dark comedy musical follows the staff of a burlesque cabaret as they try to survive working under the rule of their unhinged, sexist and psychopathic boss Chester Charles.

With hilarious songs, unforgettable characters, and plenty of chaos, Call Me Daddy - The Musical! promises a night of outrageous entertainment.

Written and directed by up-and-coming talent Hannah Etheridge, Call Me Daddy debuted to rave reviews and two full-house performances at Brighton Fringe 2023. Audiences praised the surreal humour and boundary-pushing satire of the workplace musical.

Call Me Daddy will have you spitting feather boas with laughter, as the cabaret staff try to navigate the unruly erratic behaviour of their dark overlord...

(Call Me Daddy is entirely fiction, any resemblance of a character to a real person living or deceased is purely coincidental)

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.
