Bent Wit Cabaret roars into its final profane show on November 14th, with the theme of “Revealed”, bringing to a close a year of this “sexy and funny” (Boston Phoenix) cabaret series that is “not to be missed” (Bay Windows). Join the outrageous cast of Boston’s most exciting artists as we REVEAL our deepest, darkest secrets, show you the ugly side of creating a beautiful show, and sure, let loose some lovely boobs. Catch a first glimpse of The Slutcracker and more gorgeous music from the Elephant Tango Ensemble, from pop to classical to rock to Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood.
Hosted by the outrageous UnAmerika’s Sweetheart Karin Webb and the legendary 86-years-young Mary Dolan, Bent Wit is a “provocative and waayyy ‘outside the box’ cabaret/burlesque… achieving kind of a growing ‘cult status’ amongst a Boston audience interested in something unique and challenging.” (Boston Survival Guide). This monthly “high-end, low-brow variety show” celebrates/castrates a different theme at every show and works with a brilliant core cast of collaborating performers and musicians, including The Slutcracker mastermind Sugar Dish, bizarro burlesque artist Femme Brulee and that siren of the gutter herself, Lainey SchoolTree. Previous explorations have included Grotesque and Fantasy, and Revealed brings the season to its corrupt and devious end.
BWC: Revealed features the brilliant, soul-screeching music of Jaggery, burlesque hoping by Lolli Hoops, a premiere sneak peek at The Slutcracker, original musical numbers, tap dancing bananas, and puppetry– as well as the Bent Wit House Band, Elephant Tango Ensemble (featuring members of Goli and HUMANWINE). Video shorts curated by the Boston Underground Film Festival.
Bent Wit premiered to a packed house in January 2010 at OBERON in Harvard Square. This fresh, new cabaret brings together the best from all corners of Boston and beyond- bridging the famous gap between Boston’s artistic communities. Showcasing every type of art from dance to spoken word, from video to puppetry, all strung together with outrageous comedy, characters, and brilliant live music. Bawdy, beautiful, delicious and disastrous, Bent Wit audiences should always come expecting the unexpected! You’re welcome, Boston.
