Cabaret *****

Gluttony Peacock until March 19

A packed marquee welcomed Soap back to the Fringe, eager for vicarious hydrotherapy. This time it’s even sexier than before, the singing more luscious, the clowning kookier and the bodies, wet or dry, totally delicious.The rapport between the performers and their sheer joy of playing is unmistakeable and the skill they bring to every routine is mesmerising. There are crowd pleasing big routines and subtle erotic moments. There is the one physically visceral act that everyone waits for.

One man, one bath of water and a routine so energetic, so risky, so forceful, so primal that it takes your breath away.

If you sit close you’ll get wet, so sit close.
