Joe Black

Joe Black www.misterjoeblack.com - Dark cabaret drag darling, musical comedy misfit and vintage vaudeville villain. He is a living cartoon.

‘Exceptional‘ - Broadway Baby ★★★★★

"The king of cabaret noir" - The Metro

"Not to be missed" - Vanity Fair Italia

"An evening chock full of indecent hilarity. This one-man song and dance feast will leave you gobsmacked for all the right reasons" - Time Out Melbourne

“A well-sussed, well tasty exponent of Commedia del’ Arte farce, he knows his theatrical history backwards, and frequently, vomi

ts it mashed-up Exorcist-style, to fabulously startling effect” - QX - ★★★★★

‘Beguiling mix of 30’s Berlin glamour and comically-sinister Disney villain… A deliciously malevolent energy’ - Broadway Baby

‘If you get the chance to see Joe Black perform then grab it with both bejewelled hands, don some rhinestones and slink your way down to this (metaphorically) smoky lair.’ - This Is Cabaret - ★★★★★

"His show is like nothing I have ever encountered before – it is absurd, terrifying, and brilliantly original and I desperately want to go again, and again. If this is the future of modern British cabaret then I am 100% behind it. Go, order yourself a large gin, take a seat, and be taken on a musical journey you hadn’t even dreamed was possible" - Scotsgay Magazine - ★★★★★

"Charismatic and downright filthy... There can be no one else quite like him" - Broadway Baby

"Compelling cabaret cadaver-ette... More seamless than a Venusian onesie" - Belfast Telegraph - ★★★★★

"Black is out and out the best performer I’ve seen this Fringe. Larger than life, buzzing with frenetic energy. You might almost believe that, like an animation, he can contort reality as suits" - Fringe Review

"Amazing!" - Jonathan Ross

"He's funny, fearless and probably not anything you could ever imagine - or want to take your mum along to see - but nothing can detract from his blood-curdling brilliance" - Reading Chronicle

“tHE DARKEST STAR IN CABARET. Black is the new black" - Bizarre Magazine

"Hellishly hot" - The Irish Independent

"Suitably wicked and woeful" - The Londonist

For curious minds -
Trousers are from and I think probably the thing I wear that I get asked where it’s from the most.
Shirt and tie is
Shoes were the x collab and I got them on their way out for an absolute steal and i may never experience a thrill like that again
