What makes cabaret special? Cabaret provides an opportunity for a special kind of intimacy with an audience that you don’t get in bigger theatres with bigger audiences.
If you had to condense cabaret into a feeling or emotion, what would it be? Intimate.
When did you first get hooked on cabaret? Always been a fan, but Ali McGregor got me hooked about six years back with her show at the time. At first it was her killer voice that got my attention, but she’s also funny and witty and a great performer.
What’s the strangest thing you’ve seen at a cabaret show? I’ve not seen anything too strange in a while, but I like strange things – they make it interesting!
