The world-leading live entertainment company and pop-up experts, Underbelly, are delighted to bring the trailblazing cabaret, La Clique, to Manchester for its very first North of England residency on the rooftop of Depot Mayfield. Manchester is in for a treat with the best night out this summer as La Clique is set to showcase the world’s best circus and cabaret acts from Thursday 25th May for an exclusive and limited 6-week run in a beautiful 1920s Spiegeltent venue.
Underbelly are the original pop-up experts. Their iconic Underbelly Festival Southbank launched in 2009 and ran for 10 years on the banks of the Thames. Their other festivals and pop-up sites in London have included Leicester Square, Cavendish Square and Earls Court. And Underbelly are one of the biggest producing venues at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, every year presenting over 160 shows a day in 25 pop-up venues across four festival sites.
The rooftop at Depot Mayfield will be home to La Clique’s spectacular Spiegeltent venue. A Spiegeltent is an original “mirror tent”, built in Belgium during the late 19th and early 20th centuries designed as glamorous travelling entertainment venues. Alongside La Clique and the Spiegeltent, Underbelly will bring its signature summer pop-up experience with a beautiful outdoor bar and local street food traders, making it the perfect space for outdoor summer drinking and eating for pre and post-show.
A decade on from winning the Best Entertainment Olivier Award and fresh from smash-hit runs in London’s Leicester Square and at the Edinburgh Fringe, La Clique has wowed audiences around the globe from New York to Singapore, Melbourne to Montreal. In Manchester the genre-defining cabaret will welcome tension strap artist LJ Marles, singer Chastity Belt, aerial contortion artist Miranda Menzies, comedy and stunt performer Sam Goodburn, and more artists to be announced very soon.
The Spiegeltent offers multiple seating options – all with an excellent view of the central, circle stage. Private booths for up to 8 adults are also available for the perfect group night out, each table coming with a bottle of prosecco. La Clique runs every evening from Tuesday to Sunday (from Thursday 25th May), starting times vary between 7pm and 9.45pm. Running time for the show is 100 minutes including an interval.
To celebrate its opening, La Clique is offering limited early bird tickets for the first two weeks where stalls tickets are reduced to £25 per person. Tickets are automatically discounted via the website. Hurry, limited tickets available.
