Musical comedy group Fascinating Aïda are to celebrate their 40th anniversary with a new tour, running between September and November 2023, followed by three nights at the London Palladium in February 2024.
The promoters say: "In 1983 there was no-one else like them and, 40 years on, there still isn't. Celebrating 40 years on the road in 2023, Dillie Keane, Adèle Anderson and Liza Pulman, Britain's raciest and sassiest cabaret trio are bringing their brand-new show to the London Pallidum for three nights only in February 2024. And touring from September 2023!
"Fascinating Aïda have racked up millions of internet followers, performed in the world's most prestigious venues and been showered with awards and plaudits since they sashayed onto the scene back in 1983.
"Uniquely charming, with diamond-sharp satire, filthy, hilarious, belligerent, political, poignant and outrageous, this indomitable trio are still the mistresses of their craft."
Talking about the content, they add: "Marking this astonishing 40-year milestone, this new show will feature much-loved favourites and some wicked new songs. If you've been delighted by Dogging, sung Cheap Flights to the Ryanair cabin crew or sobbed into your hanky with Look Mummy, No Hands, don't miss the chance to celebrate with these unstoppable performers in their glorious prime!"
Musical director, composer and pianist Michael Roulston will, once again, join Dillie, Liza and Adèle on stage and the show will be directed by Paul Foster.
