Barbara Fernandez: Singing, Sagging and Shagging
“Raucous and raving!” “Bonkers and poignant” “Like nothing I have ever seen before. Go and see it!!!!” Singing, Sagging and Shagging is a music-driven one-woman cabaret show that celebrates outrageous – yet all true – life stories of a multiple divorcee/rock-singer-turned-cabaret-comedian who packs jaw-dropping tales of cult-loving husbands, jailbird exes, shaggable therapists and neurodiverse adventures into an hour show of powerfully funny parodies from famous songs designed to poke fun at her rocky road to self-discovery.
Described as ‘Liza Minelli and Debbie Harry's love child’, come see how Barbara throws herself into musical comedy like a dieter on a forbidden dessert. Through her unbelievable, hilarious and unexpected stories, you’ll see why audience members describe her as 'fearless, endearing, raunchy and unflinching' in her ‘irreverent musical celebration of female power in the midst of chaos’. ★★★★ “Singing, Sagging and Shagging is that rare beast: a no-holds-barred, belly-laugh-inducing, and surprisingly poignant revue that smashes stereotypes... Think Cole Porter meets Victoria Wood — with a dash of Calendar Girls cheekiness... A must-see show” – Sussex News ★★★★
“Outrageously funny musical comedy show. What an excellent comedian” – Theatre and Arts Review ★★★★ “
Soaring vocals, belly laughs, and touching tales” – FringeReview
