Slow-Cooked Mutton Cabaret

Images: by Kate Holmes Photography

Two queer post-menopausal post-modern punks making cabaret

Bringing queer feminist punk cabaret aesthetics to new audiences, you can expect drums and a bass, two mics and plenty of raunchy, risqué attitude, as this circus and dance duo blend a combined 60+ years of global theatre experience into witty banter amongst their original and cover songs, all celebrating the glorious mess of the post-menopausal experience. Low sex drive or looking for new love after divorce? Mutton hears you: our hit song ‘CBF2BF’ and Ode to Online Dating poem are especially for you.

In these times of ongoing misogyny, and homogenised social media filters which fetishise the youth and their beauty, gather your coven, to join Gabrielle Griffin (she/they) and Simone O’Brien (she/they) as Mutton say out loud what most women just think.
