Cabaret BOOM BOOM provides a series of cabaret shows filled with music and comedy. Each show is introduced by Mr Herbert, Mr Flip Flap or Mr Lodge, who offer a few minutes of pre-act amusement. While each act proved entertaining, some did drag on for too long, such as Lorraine Bowen’s wacky singing performance and The Cleaver Sisters’ double act.
Admittedly, I was by far the youngest attendee, with the audience populated by middle-aged couples. In light of this, students may not fully appreciate the entertainment each act offers. This was evident when Lorraine’s act mocked new media technology by joking: “www.www” and the current hype of mobile applications by asking the audience if one could do household chores, such as ironing.
Anna Abrams’ tricks on a unicycle act, however, were incredibly fascinating, as she flirted with danger by attempting to take off her trousers whilst riding the unicycle.
Other stand out acts in this three hour show includes tap dancing turkeys and jugglers.
There was no doubt what the highlight of Cabaret BOOM BOOM was. Kevin Brooking’s "Comedy of Accidents" – a one-man clown act – was a hugely popular closing show with the audience, providing almost endless genuine laugh-out-loud moments with his precise comic timing.
The attraction of the variety in acts showcased from highly talented performers make Cabaret BOOM BOOM a popular show amongst the people of South Yorkshire. An extremely entertaining experience may not be guaranteed, but a smile on your face after the show is.
