Berlin, February 1933, the new German leadership orders the closure of all venues which promote immorality. But Felix, the emcee of the depraved Fabulett, still has a story to tell. Set at the transition from one of the most liberal societies of its time with the worlds first gay rights movement, where the first queer anthem was composed, one of the first gay-themed movies was made, and the first gender-affirming surgeries were performed, to one of the biggest tragedies in human history, Fabulett 1933 deals with the fragility of achievements of a society and the struggle of visibility.Fabulett 1933 is a new queer one-person musical with an original story and score, featuring music, ideas and lives classified as degenerate by the Nazis. Following its critically acclaimed run at the 2022 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Fabulett 1933 is now coming to Brighton Fringe.

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.
