Club D’Amour is not a show that eases you in — from the very first beat, you’re swept up in a delicious whirlwind of sound, sparkle, and joyous excess. This is Fringe at its most indulgent: part party, part performance, and entirely committed to giving the audience a night they won’t forget.
First up, the choreography —it’s bold, precise, and bursting with attitude. Add staging, music, and sound design, and you’ve got a magnificent space where circus, drag, burlesque, and knockout live vocals collide in the best possible way.
And then there’s hostess Fay Rocious — quite simply, the most mostess. Commanding, charismatic, and wickedly funny, she steers the evening with effortless confidence, making the audience feel both welcome and just a little bit mischievous.
The cast? Ridiculously good. Matthew Pope, Melina Mall, Nat Oakes, Wade Ryder, Tom McKinnon, and Antonia Sassine deliver a feast of swinging, flying, spinning, and contorting that borders on hypnotic. The physicality alone is mesmerising, but Club D’Amour refuses to settle for just one flavour of spectacle. Instead, it launches headfirst into themed performances that blend silliness with cheekiness, comedy with spectacle, and more than a few surprises.
Bubbles, flames, cowboys — the show is gloriously full-throttle from the get-go. It’s bold, playful, and just the right amount of outrageous. Club D’Amour doesn’t just invite you to watch; it dares you to surrender to the fun. Resistance, frankly, is futile.
