The Cabaret of Curiosities

photo by Matthew Smith

A stylish, vintage vaudevillean Cabaret in the intimate red-velvet auditorium of the Cube Cinema. The Cabaret of Curiosities has been running to packed houses since March 2007 and is hosted and produced by Zuleika Ziegfeld and Richie Paradise. We have been delighted to present performances by Boys and Dance, Terry Saunders, Hoop La La, The Hot Potato Syncopators, Thomas Truax, Curtis Eller and Keda breeze amongst many spectacular others! We are always interested in finding new ground-based cabaret and vaudeville acts. The Cabaret of Curiosities is run within the worker co-operative of the Cube Cinema.

Boxcar Aldous Huxley

"...a Bristol supergroup of sorts, chock full of "members of" with dazzlingly impressive musical chops. The combined elements of the Boxcar seven are what rattle the bones: saw and clarinet are the cries, drums are the stomp and crushing under heels, the brass (euphonium, french horn and trombone) the ominousness, the harmonium buzz the caged rage behind sustained traffic horns, and the lead banjo and vocals pluck the beauty out from the trash. There are fists in these dirty waltzes of raw loveliness, and a sense that making noise en masse may just about cure all."
