Kick the year off with a bang as Jumpin' January bursts onto the stage with high-energy performances, bold ideas, and a sense of fresh-start excitement. Expect big movement, playful chaos, and performers leaping headfirst into 2026 with joy, confidence, and a little bit of recklessness. This is a celebration of momentum, ambition, and starting the year exactly as we mean to go on.
Upside Down Cabaret is Chester's monthly queer cabaret night, blending drag, burlesque, live music, comedy, sideshow and the unexpected into one electric evening. Every show is different, but all are rooted in inclusivity, creativity, and audience connection - whether it's your first time through the doors or your fiftieth.
Hosted by the King and Queen of Chester Cabaret - TV's Mr Brake Down (founding father, but you can call him Daddy) and panto and Pride sensation Miss Cherry Good (hold for applause) - the night also features a rotating roster of beloved regulars including Kitty De Vyne, Rachel 'Foxy' Fox, Miss Hertz, the fabulous ladies of JazKit Burlesque, and the Doom & Glitter House Band, alongside exciting guest performers from across the UK.
Please be advised that this show is strictly for audiences aged 16+ due to adult humour, strong language and partial nudity. Visitors aged 16 and 17 will need to be accompanied by a companion of at least 18.
