Chastity Belt
Chastity is one of the UK’s most beloved cabaret artistes; a well sought-after Compére, Mistress of Ceremonies and Chanteuse. She has been whipping audiences into shape across the country and beyond for nearly a decade and doesn’t intend to stop any time soon! A powerhouse of a singer with a razor sharp wit, she really is the thinking man's crumpet and the crumpet man's thinker. Like most modern women she extols the virtues of forward-thinking and gin-drinking, but will happily drop it all for a suitable suitor with a beard and strong shoulders! 

When not being a Mistress of Mirth she can be found on the West End; acting, producing, directing and teaching across the capital. Chastity is the perfect blend of powerful and poised, audiences leave her shows beaming, with their sides split and their cockles warmed.

Oscar Kaufmann 
The Flying Gentleman synergises emotive storytelling with innovation. Armored in a three piece suit, the Gentleman takes what was once an ordinary object, and imagines the extraordinary. With the Hatstand he flies, demonstrating that strength and elegance are not incompatible opposites, but forces that can be combined with dance-like ease. A charming character who’s physical storytelling will make your heart beat faster and higher.
