Whether you’re spending Valentine’s Day with your love or celebrating Galantine’s Day with your friends, Ember & the Vixens have got you covered.

Bringing all the Valentine’s Day sass and a heady dose of female empowerment, the special ‘Valentine’s Vixens’ are back with their popular adults-only variety night this February. Expect the glorious Kings Arms to be transformed into a fabulous cabaret den for one night only. Glamorous, sparkling and intoxicating, Ember & the Vixens are set to bring a chocolate box of dazzling burlesque, enchanting music and sensational spoken word – all beautifully tied up with themes of romance, anti-romance and broken hearts.

With live music filling the air, and glitter and sequins a-plenty, the world of showbiz will be unleashed on The Kings Arms. As always, Ember Travixen will be taking to the stage, and the much-loved high-kicking singer-songwriter MC Jas Nisic will be hosting, introducing a variety of amazing performers from the burlesque, music and poetry worlds.

Created by the multi-award-winning theatre maker Selina Helliwell, Ember & the Vixens have built a loyal following and enjoyed a string of sell-out shows. The company have experienced huge success with their previous burlesque takeovers of Manchester Art Gallery – most recently, with their Christmas show ‘Festive Foxes’. They’ve also presented a ‘Belated Birthday Special’ cabaret and a Halloween-themed ‘Creepy Cabaret’ to thrilled audiences across the city. Now, this February, we’re poised and ready for Valentine’s Vixens – another exquisite evening of first-class entertainment.
