Miss Behave’s Game Show is not your average cabaret show. Presented in a game show style format that pits iPhone users against every other type of mobile phone, you’re really not sure what you should expect. What ensues is a night of all out hilarity where a bunch of normal people go wild, singing, dancing and some even taking their clothes off with strangers all to score a few extra points.

Audiences may remember Miss Behave from the popular comedy cabaret burlesque show La Clique. In her latest offering Miss Behave is a vibrant and colourful disco ball that keeps the audience engaged and entertained for the duration. Assistant Harriet brings a fantastic level of comedy whilst at the same time showcasing some fantastic dance ability.

The premise of the show is a series of games in which the two sides compete for points, working on a no rules system. Points are then dished out to the side that correctly guesses the answer to the question, or wants the points the most, or even just asks for them. Anything can happen at Miss Behave’s Game Show, which is uproariously entertaining, and adrenaline pumping. The show will leave you singing and dancing long after you have left the theatre.

The sets and props used are minimal and constructed mostly of cardboard and trash but nothing more is required to make the show work. Lighting and colourful costumes are used effectively transforming a cardboard mess into something visually spectacular.

Miss Behave’s Game Show offers you an immensely fun escape from reality where you can leave the chaos of the world outside and see where the night takes you. This is a fantastic way to spend a night at the Cabaret Festival. Don’t forget to take your phone and suspend your sense of disbelief. Not to be missed!
