Following her 2009 sell-out hit show Cabaret Whore, Sarah-Louise Young returns to the Edinburgh Festival with her brand new solo show.
Cabaret Whore Encore! features three desperate divas from around the globe and sees the return of tortured French chanteuse, La Poule Plombée. Character comedy and original songs, with music by Michael Roulston.
Sarah-Louise has performed at the Soho Theatre, Adelaide Cabaret Festival, Café de Paris and Pigalle and can also be seen in Showstopper! The Improvised Musical.
“The first thing I thought when leaving Sarah Louise Young’s show was: this is too good to be free. She can sing, act and be funny all at the same time, proving herself a true performer and a force to be reckoned with. She greeted her audience as an old Broadway diva, ushering us to seats and cleverly building the excitement, before introducing us to a range of characters, each complete with accents, outrageous costumes and well rounded back stories that enhance their believability. However, all this pales in comparison to the genius of the songs, especially the lyrics: with witty choruses and satirical verses, there was a joke for every sense of humour. Go, sit back and smile.”
