La Clique
Born in The Famous Spiegeltent at Edinburgh Fringe in 2004, and is still selling out, still reinventing itself, two decades on.
-
La Clique reinvented variety for the 21st century, blending cabaret, new burlesque, circus and modern vaudeville into a night that’s part seduction, part comedy show, part genuine feat of human capability. Over twenty years it has played to more than a million people across 21 cities and 11 countries, won an Olivier Award for Best Entertainment in the West End, and picked up the Seoul Arts Award last year in tribute to its longevity. Every iteration reshuffles the cast of world-class variety performers, which is exactly why audiences keep coming back.
