“Korean born Fancy Chance is in a class of her own.  Her theme seems to be the shedding of prim layers, from those of a middle aged bespectacled, leopard skin coat wearing woman to Alice in Wonderland in Victorian lace to reveal outrageously and hilariously what’s hidden beneath.  She is at once blokish, ballsy, fierce and funny – chutzpah personified.” – Edinburghguide.com

Dusty Limits’ The Winter of Our Discontent

winter of our discontent

The bleak midwinter bites. While the 1% are sunning themselves in the Maldives, the rest of us are feeling the cold pinch of austerity. A Coalition of mutual distrust flounders, a self-assembly Europe (for which we’ve lost the instructions) is coming apart, and the people who got us into this mess are paying themselves bigger bonuses than ever. As mid-January, the most depressing week of the year, approaches, thing look grim.

 

What better way to combat the winter blues than with a good old-fashioned British moan?

 

The Winter of Our Discontent brings together some of the most exciting players on the contemporary cabaret scene to bitch, gripe and howl, expressing their anger through song, stand-up, contortions, tap-dancing, yoga demonstrations and just plain ranting.

 

For three nights only the beautiful new Arcola Tent in Dalston will play host to this rag-tag rabble of disaffected artists.

Timeout is so benevolent with me!
