GET CURIOUS for an evening of live performance and entertainment celebrating LGBTQIA+ culture and creativity at Live Theatre this November.
Live Theatre is Curious Cabaret is a collaboration between the venue and Curious Arts, a North East arts charity and producers of award-winning Curious Festival. Taking place on Friday 8th November at 7:30pm, the event offers a dynamic mix of cabaret, comedy, art, and drag, hosted by legendary avant-garde performer David Hoyle.
David Hoyle, known for his sharp satire and fearless critiques of society, first rose to fame in the 1990s as the Divine David. His bold, captivating performances have graced venues such as the infamous Royal Vauxhall Tavern, Soho Theatre in London and Manchester’s flagship arts venue Factory International. Hoyle’s recent shows include Diamond and Ten Commandments, and he continues to tour internationally.
