Cabaret Festival - High Tea With Ida Barr; comedy


UK comedian, writer and musician Christopher Green returns as a familiar Cabaret Festival favourite to share more raunchy rhymes and hilarious anecdotes of the golden days at London's music hall in High Tea With Ida Barr.

More Than Tea And Scones by Linh

Following last year's successful Bingo shows, Miss Ida Barr invites Adelaideans to a free tea session flavoured with gangsta rap and hip hop numbers.

The Lyrics Lounge was full to capacity as crowds queued at the doors, while it was standing room only if you were lucky to get inside.

High Tea With Ida Barr is more than a leisurely sit-down-and-chat-over-tea experience, but a rigourous rapping and rhyming routine with Miss Ida Barr.

The veteran music hall pensioner shows she's still got the grooves to go with her moves as she struts onstage to original lyrics and music. You'll soon see that Ida's hip has enough hop to rival Missy Elliot and Beyonce!

Popular rap artists, Hollywood film actors and even local politics fail to escape the quick wit and lightning lips of Miss Ida Barr as she rocks through her rap medleys.

High Tea With Ida Barr shows how even seniors can get down and shake their groove thang along with the best of booty shakers. Miss Ida Barr reveals how 'bottoms up' is more than a drinking term, and even persuades you to do the 'Hokey Cokey'. However, it's also a fantastic opportunity for the talented Christopher Green to show how he can have fun in a frock while entertaining an excited Cabaret Festival crowd.
