Angela Bra (pronounced similarly to candelabra) performs a 50-minute show based on a girl’s night out. The show is a drag comedy act that has everything a girl’s night loves – great tunes, cabaret, party games and even a game of bingo with prices.

The show was not what I expected. I thought it would centre on diary extracts but it did not. However, this did not affect the show at all, it was a pleasant surprise. Unfortunately, the turnout was not the best but Angela made it work with the little audience. For the type of show that involved movement from the audience, the venue was on the small side so I could imagine doing party games would be harder with more people. For the show I attended, it added to the humour and fun.

Angela involves the audience into the show, making witty comments to answers but all in good faith and the content is tame. No one is made to feel embarrassed and Angela commands the crowd well, getting them involved in the show throughout.

Unlike many drag acts, there are no lip-syncing tunes, all tunes are original, catchy and sung with audience participation. There was an impressive small screen with a pre-made music video and subtitles for the song if people wanted to sing along with the whole tune.

The party games and bingo during the show were really class! I could see this show being a great fun weekend night out with a group of pals. It was really funny with the small crowd I was part of but that for me is what added how fun it was. If you’re looking for a fun, girls night segment to your evenings, definitely see this show. But go with a few people!
