Bringing all the glamour and a heady dose of female empowerment, Ember & the Vixens are back with an adults-only Creepy Cabaret this Halloween.

Fans of spooky season and live entertainment rejoice. The glorious Kings Arms in Salford will be transformed into a lavish cabaret-style theatre for one night only. Expect a cauldron of the most intoxicating burlesque, circus, live music and spoken word – this is Ember & the Vixens with a creepy, Halloween-themed twist.

Created by the multi-award-winning theatre-maker Selina Helliwell, Ember & the Vixens have enjoyed a string of sell-out shows including a ‘Valentine’s Vixens’ event, a glitzy burlesque takeover of Manchester Art Gallery and their recent ‘Belated Birthday Special’ cabaret. Now, this October, scary meets sexy in their creepiest cabaret show yet.

Hosted by the high-kicking singer-songwriter MC Jas Nisic, Creepy Cabaret will see the fabulous Ember Travixen take to the stage alongside an extravaganza of amazing performers from the burlesque, music, circus and poetry worlds. This is a night of spine-tingling turns with a few ghoulish surprises, including a fancy dress competition for the audience.

So if you’re looking for a liberating and entertaining evening of shimmying and sparkle this Halloween – get your most ghoulish threads on and catch Ember and the Vixens at the Kings Arms.
