THE RIOT SHOWGRRRLS CLUB
Scary Little Girls Productions
Presents
The Riot Showgrrrls Club
Every year, Mistress Lilith and Madame Magdalene fling wide the doors of their Academy for Higher Consciousness, welcoming the lovely people to come and play. Inside it’s a gleeful musical spree with a fizzy electro-pop centre that puts the “camp” squarely into “campaigning” and pauses only for drinking, cakes and games.
With their new friends and the occasional special guest visitor in tow, our wonderfully moustachioed heroines helter-skelter into dozens of womankind’s – and music’s – most empowering moments.
Along the way, they grab fistfuls of inspiration, from Mrs Merton and Nina Simone, Jane Russell and Le Tigre, 60s girl groups and Buffy – and the result is as uplifting as it is surreal.
The sparkliest gang in town is recruiting. Are you ready for your initiation?
