Shirley Knot the Siren

Canal Cafe Theatre Show Dates: 28 Jul 2025-30 Jul 2025

Ever wondered what happens to a siren when she ages? Join Shirley for an evening of comedy cabaret, dancing and all things fishy as she celebrates the joy of standing out from the shoal. Shirley is here to tell you she’ll not be put out to sea just yet, thank you very much. Shirley’s cabaret sails through many decades of life’s rubbish as a Siren on the rocks! Awards: Halifax Fringe Festival – Hot Seat Award Alternative Cabaret Battle – 2nd runner up What audience and press are saying about Shirley Knot: ‘This show is about a journey that starts with not fitting in, how her parents tried to get her to fit and how she ended up doing something she was good at but didn’t enjoy. It’s all linked together through songs, shows tunes, comic songs and opera. What is remarkable is Shirley’s voice. Powerful, emotive and clear. From the first notes of the first song ... ’ – Joe Angella – Fringe Review ‘Debbie’s background in music was apparent during this show with her Julie Andrews like timbre, making us in awe one minute than laughing the next with her clever parody lyrics.’ – Emma Gilmore – the Ems ‘What a great night.’ – Murray Hecht ‘Loved it! Charming.’ – Adrian Jameson ‘Love it, Debbie’ – Debi Jones Maas ‘Go Shirley, Love it. Fin’ling good’ – Nicholas Quirke
