Witness the incredible talent of Manchester’s queer cabaret scene
The House of Pantha presents Ferocious Cabaret! A fierce pre-Pride celebration showcasing the incredible talent of Manchester’s queer cabaret scene. Featuring artists from the House of Pantha Act Development Course alongside acclaimed industry professionals and special guest performers, this electrifying production platforms emerging talent while celebrating the diversity, creativity and self-expression at the heart of cabaret culture.
Audiences can expect a vibrant evening of burlesque, boylesque, drag and circus performance, with acts ranging from seductive and theatrical to bold, high-energy and unapologetically queer. Ferocious Cabaret champions artistic development, community and inclusivity, highlighting the next generation of performers being nurtured through House of Pantha’s commitment to accessible cabaret training and professional development.
This project has been created in collaboration with local artist Darren Pritchard of Ghetto Fabulous Manchester and has been generously funded by Arts Council England. The project is led by Cleopantha, a Manchester-born and raised burlesque performer who has been voted the number one burlesque performer in the UK, number three burlesque performer worldwide (2022), and has performed alongside internationally recognised artists including Cardi B and Fatman Scoop.
