I hadn't seen the Wild Geeze perform since the Peacock Parlour back in July '22, so when I got a message from Leela Baron saying she was performing her Champagne Act at their next show, I thought to myself, I really should go see that...
Fast forward a week and I'm pulling up outside Kavanaghs in Stoneybatter. The night got off to a great start, I got parking right outside the venue!
I met up with Leela and then with Laura and Breda from the Wild Geeze. I asked some questions (what can I shoot, what don't they want shot and so on...), did some test shots and then settled in and waited for the show to start.
The crowd started to grow, each selecting a Green, Yellow or Red sticker to indicate whether the wearer was single, unsure or in a relationship. Me? I was wearing black, just like the colour of my broken heart, but that's a story for another day.
And then the show kicked off and the crowd were treated to a wonderful night of cabaret. As the locals sat downstairs in the bar, supping their pints and watching the rugby, upstairs, there was a distinct lack of clothing, lots of comedy, music and a champagne show. Now, I love my rugby, but wild horses couldn't have pulled me away from the cabaret!
Right, before we head to the photos, just a quick word about Stoneybanter. First and foremost, it is a fantastic cabaret show. Secondly, and this is very important, Stoneybanter is a queer friendly night So, if you are wondering if you will be accepted for who you are, wonder no more.
Okay, now for the photos!
