2011 Edinburgh Fringe

More details

She's an American pop princess. He's a depraved Cockney rocker. Preaching the filth and mashing up hits from Beyonce to Bowie, Pistol & Jack will grope your soul and bring you to your knees...

Making their Edinburgh Fringe debut in Smash.Glam.Sex.Music, cabaret artists Pistol & Jack perform their own special brand of mashed-up pop songs and share stories of super-injunctions, Jewish pop groups, ex-Presidents, jackals, and stage dads they've encountered clawing their way towards celebrity as the world's only Anglo-American Male-Female Pop-Rock Mash-Up Cabaret-Comedy Double-Act.

Pistol & Jack's, twisted co-dependent relationship might seethe with hurt and betrayal, but their shared religion of zeitgeist idols and a cut-throat desperation for superstardom keeps them together. This Is Spinal Tap meets Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, Smash.Glam.Sex.Music explores the ruins left behind when the glitter and champagne run out. Most light entertainment is just a blow job in an alley. Pistol and Jack are proper sex with cuddling and crying. Tonight, you'll get lucky and experience both.

Pistol & Jack curate and host a monthly variety night, Pistol & Jack's Sunday Service (Time Out Critics' Choice) at the Soho Theatre, featuring acts including Scott Capurro, Dusty Limits, and Patti Plinko & The Maddening. They have also recently performed at Duckie, Lounge on the Farm Festival, Madame Jojo's, Bistrotheque, and as far as Zagreb, Croatia. They're huge in Croatia.
