The Adonis Cabaret Show was created in Vienna, Austria, whilst on tour in 1996 after the realisation that a lot of male strip shows took themselves far too seriously and forgot that the performers are on stage to please and entertain the audience, not themselves. Top performer entrepreneur Tristan formulated a unique night of mayhem with the help of some of the top drag acts and male strippers in cities around the world and the show soon evolved into regular UK Saturday nights on the south coast popular as hen night entertainment as well as for girls out for a fun night. Since then the Adonis show has gone from strength to strength, touring overseas as well as around the UK.
Following the success of the Adonis Cabaret clubs nationwide comes The Adonis Cabaret Ladies Night Show. We are the UK’s Top Hen and Stag Night company and run shows in Blackpool, London, Brighton, Newcastle, Leeds and Bournemouth, so you can be assured of the finest quality performers at ALL times with the best service! The Adonis Cabaret male strippers and Drag Queens have been taking the UK by storm, bringing together some of the best entertainers in the business for a fantastic night of music, comedy and erotica with the emphasis on cabaret and fun. Adonis Cabaret is a fantastic concept in girls’ night entertainment!
An international drag comedian hosts the night and will have you in hysterics before the funniest, hunkiest, most televised male strippers in the business titillate you with some amazing routines!
The Show is ‘Full Monty’ so be prepared!
Advance tickets are £14 plus booking fee from Bridport TIC: 01308 424901 and online at seetickets.com, or £16 on the door. NB This show is for over 18s only.

Bridport will celebrate the coming of the West End to Bridport next week with the opening of Steven Sondheim’s much-loved musical, Merrily We Roll Along.
Due to unprecedented demand and huge critical acclaim – including winning the Critics’ Circle Award for Best Musical (New or Revival) for 2012 – this fabulous Stephen Sondheim production contains some of his most beautiful songs.
Set over three decades in the entertainment business ‘Merrily We Roll Along’ charts the relationship between three friends Franklin, Mary and Charley. Travelling backwards in time, this powerful and moving story features great songs such as ‘Good Thing Going’, ‘Not a Day Goes By’ and ‘Old Friends’.
“This production of Merrily We Roll Along is not only the best I’ve seen, but one of those rare instances where casting, direction and show come together in perfect combination, resulting in the classic ideal of the sum being greater than the parts.” Stephen Sondheim
Tickets for this spectacular night of 1930’s glamour are available from seetickets.com. To celebrate the coming of the West End Musicals to Bridport, a special Champagne Package is available which includes a champagne reception in the Bob Hope Bar before the show.

The Electric Palace will present live performances from some of hip-hop’s most promising and renowned artists/DJs in the UK. The inaugural Hip Hop Festival has been designed to educate and entertain with workshops and performances featuring, some of the brightest and active people in the music industry and Hip Hop culture.
Rapper, poet, artist, London-based Dizraeli is receiving critical acclaim for his lyrical content and instrumentation that is the best in the UK hip hop market at the moment. Their music is still underground but almost certainly for not much longer. This is an amazing opportunity not only to see Dizraeli & DownLow perform but also to learn the art of rhyming from the best.
Dizraeli & DownLow are fresh from the release of ‘Everyone’s A Winner – The Mixtape’. The pair have been making a huge impact in the past 12 months, sharing stages in the UK and France with legends like The Pharcyde, Mos Def, Foreign Beggars, Beardyman and DJ Format, and constructing a live hip-hop show unlike anything you’ve seen before.
Dizraeli & DownLow have long done hip-hop PA shows as a side-project to their band the Small Gods, but 2013 has seen them step it up to a brand new level – starting with a show opening for the Foreign Beggars to 3,000 people in Paris and shows at Koko, The Clapham Grand and Shepherds’ Bush Empire in London as well as tearing up BoomTown Festival and Shambala Festival over the summer.
Local people interested in learning about the art of Hip Hop have an amazing opportunity to be taught by some of the best in a ‘Rhyme & Reason’ workshop lead by Dizraeli & DownLow themselves. The workshop, priced at only £5, will focus on a brief introduction into the art of rhyming, how to write your raps and how to create your lyrical flow. This workshop is aimed at all ages and experience. Afterwards workshop participants can see their heroes on stage to give a showcase performance that evening.
