Hello Dillie
The queen of cabaret returns with her fantastic Fascinating Aida trio
Sunday, February 16 Fascinating Aïda Wycombe Swan
Teachers may know and love the Ofsted Song (aka A Teacher’s Lot is Not a Happy One) but did you know it was Fascinating Aïda who created the hilarious Cheap Flights?
The fascinating trio has captured the political and social fixations of our times.
Their brand new show will feature a selection of old favourites, songs you haven’t heard before and some you wish you’d never heard in the first place.
There may not be any Dogging, there may be an updated version of their BREXIT song and it’s likely that Cheap Flights will be truncated due to new immigration controls.
But the songs are mostly topical and the glamour remains unstoppable. With three Olivier Award nominations and over
25 million YouTube and Facebook hits for Cheap Flights and their incredibly rude Christmas song how can you possibly miss them?
Dillie Keane (pictured centre) founded Fascinating Aïda in 1983
(and was joined by key writing partner Adèle Anderson in 1984 and since then the group has played in hundreds of theatres in the UK and Ireland.
Their London seasons include runs at the Donmar Warehouse,
Lyric Hammersmith, Piccadilly, Vaudeville, Garrick, Apollo and
Comedy theatres and the Theatre Royal, Haymarket.
They have toured Australia three times, including a month at the Sydney Opera House, and also played New Zealand, San Francisco, New York, Berlin, Kenya, South Africa and Singapore.
They have made numerous television appearances and radio recordings, released seven CDs, three DVDs, two videos, an autobiography and a songbook, and have also been nominated for several awards.
In 2013 they won Best Musical Act in the London Cabaret
Awards. Despite being around since before the birth of the internet, Fascinating Aida has clocked up over 25 million views on YouTube and counting, and their videos have become viral phenomena multiple times.
From their first album entitled Sweet FA (1984), through the late
90s show It Wit. Don't Give A Sh*t Girls to the 2012 smash-hit tour Cheap Flights, Fascinating Aïda have been wowing audiences in their recordings and live on stage.
If there are any hidden extras, you're bound to like them.
