STARDUST Starring Star Dust (In Person)
She lost everything...except the spotlight...
A gloriously unhinged, glitter-soaked cabaret meltdown from a fallen icon who’s lost it all but won’t stop singing.
Through tales, songs and cabin approved carry-on, Star Dust unpacks life’s big questions: What happens when the lights go out? How do you survive a broken heart? And why is she so dusty? Join Star Dust in her living room as she rises like a gold-sprayed phoenix, to reclaim her legacy one power ballad, emotional spiral and audience singalong at a time. This fringe debut from Punchdrunk’s Kat McGarr ('she's witty, mad, hilarious' - Time Out) is a gloriously silly and savagely honest transformation of grief into a tragicomic tour de force; absurd, funny and profound. Expect glamour, chaos, clowning, a confetti of catharsis, and a show-stopping finale of hope. Think: Gloria Swanson meets Fleabag at a wake. Sprayed gold. With snacks.
Kat McGarr is an actor, writer, director, cabaret performer & clown with a 20-year career across theatre, screen, and immersive experiences.
Robyn Herfellow (they/them) - on musical collaboration & keys - also collaborates with Séayoncé, drag unroyalty Jonny Woo, and Mawaan Rizwan & The Tracksuits.

Honest Fraud
Ricardo Malerbi and Rudi Solon present a unique kind of game in which every player expects to be deceived and finds joy in it. If you accept the challenge and embrace the deception, you will leave more exhilarated than when you arrived. This show explores the fine line between what is real and what merely appears to be, turning illusion into an act of pure honesty and celebrating the paradox at its core. A decision will feel entirely yours – until you realise it never was. Telepathy, after all, is not about reading minds, but about guiding them.
