Manchester’s 5*-sell-out-cabaret is celebrating Halloween early this year with a glorious ‘Spooky Season Sizzler’…

Ember Travixen will be bringing her hugely popular ‘Ember & the Vixens’ cabaret to the gorgeous CULTPLEX cinema room at GRUB Mcr to celebrate the start of Spooky Season. Perfect for ghouls, ghosts, witches, wizards and fans of all things spooky, this variety night will be the perfect spine-tingling, early Halloween celebration.

On Friday 11 October at 8pm, be prepared to be mesmerised by the Vixens in the beautiful cabaret den that is CULTPLEX. Featuring singers, burlesque showgirls, spokenword performers and circus entertainers, this show is bound to entertain, empower and dazzle you; in the most delicious and creepiest way possible!

Helliwell’s cabarets have had a string of sell-out shows including an International Women’s Day special, ‘Valentine’s Vixens’ events, ‘exquisite entertainment’ takeovers of the Manchester Art Gallery, and their last spooky themed event - the Halloween Show ‘Creepy Cabaret’.

But this one is expected to be bigger and better than ever…a love letter to all things creepy, spine-tingling and nightmarish.

As usual for Helliwell’s cabarets, Selina’s own burlesque alter-ego Ember Travixen will be taking to the stage, and the much-loved MC Jas Nisic will be singing and hosting, introducing a variety of amazing performers from the burlesque, music and circus worlds.

Expect mesmerising music, sensual burlesque, hypnotising circus and powerful poetry - as well as moments of laugh out loud comedy too. Ember Travixen invites you to join her for a fun-filled evening of liberation, empowerment and first-class entertainment, all tangled up in a web of Halloween.

“Ember & her Vixens are developing a real buzz around cabaret in our part of the world” - Mag North

“a very special evening of Music, Spoken Word, Burlesque and Female Empowerment, courtesy of 8 very different, but equally brilliant women.” - Mag North

“a thoughtfully constructed evening that sought to combine burlesque with other art forms; taking the audience into different emotions as mood shifted between light and dark, comedic and serious, frivolous and emotive.” - Number 9 Reviews
