The Launch of Madame Lola’s Cabaret in Brighton

Andrew Kay chats with performers Luke Trentham Shaw and Emma Cat about the launch of Madame Lola’s, a new alternative cabaret venue in Brighton. Taking over the space formerly operated by Proud, the team discusses their modern, edgy twist on cabaret, featuring diverse international acts, local queer artists, and regular performers like Aneesa Chaudhry and Joe Black. They also touch upon the venue’s unique opening flow, the return of food service in the future, accessible ticket pricing, and the schedule featuring weekly cabaret on Fridays and Saturdays alongside a monthly comedy night.
