Expect a dazzling night of circus and cabaret with magician Adam B, juggler Louise and the fabulous dancer Miss Lolly May.

These legendary artists happen to share one thing in common: they are all disabled and/or neurodivergent. Beyond Boundaries Cabaret recognises that disabled artists are often pigeonholed and creates a space for acts that are not specifically about disability.

Porcelain Delaney is a disabled and neurodivergent artist who has performed all over the world – headlining shows including Cirque Le Soir Dubai and Reykjavik Kabarett.

Adam B has spent 26 years performing magic across London – from the cobbles of Covent Garden to some of the city’s best comedy and cabaret clubs. With a lifetime of dealing with ADHD, he is more than qualified to entertain you.

Miss Lolly May is an award-winning alternative dancer and cabaret performer who has performed across the UK and Europe as a solo artist and with her troupe, The Coven.

Louise is an autistic, gender non-confirming performer and one of the few Black jugglers in the UK, who is shaking things up with their electrifying circus cabaret.
