Kitty Cassis is everyone’s favourite Northern agony aunt ‘Kitty Cassis’ will be travelling down on the Megabus, bringing with her a vanity case full of gossip and gory details. Beautician to the stars, (if by stars you mean Deidre with the beard who works on the bins) Kitty is the ultimate party guest. “a vision in leopard print.. glimpses of early Caroline Aherne..” Chortle.
The drag inspired act Kitty Cassis cabaret show 'Sitting Pretty with Kitty' is currently on the uk fringe circuit (Leicester, Brighton, Hastings, Edinburgh etc). It's very high energy, camp and clown inspired.
She's done lots of spots at PBH's Free Fringe over the past 4 years (Magic Faraway Cabaret, SoFar So Funny, Comedy Capers) & hopes to do a 2 week run for 2024.

Enjoy storytelling tonight from
Kevin Groves currently lives in ‘White Cliffs Country’, Dover, UK. From a young age he found a love for ancient Egypt as well as many other historical periods ultimately developing perfumes to express the love. Much of Kevin’s story telling revolves around the classic literature of ancient Egypt, although he still enjoys drawing on tales across the centuries – including some that leap beyond the mundane and pull from his enjoyment of fantasy and gothic horror genres.
He's done two years of digital PBH's Free Fringe , and his first in person show was there last year - 'Tales Of Ancient Egypt'. Kevin's hoping to repeat that one for 2024 and do a new horror show too.
