Cabaret vs Cancer, supporting those affected by cancer.
Burlesque and cabaret charity events
With ‘cabaret’ being our namesake, it should come as no surprise that performance is a big part of our creative fundraising here at Cabaret Vs Cancer. We’re proud to put on a variety of cabaret and burlesque shows featuring a constellation of London’s finest stars.
From our signature Ashes to Ashes David Bowie tribute night to Christmas spectaculars, expect fabulous variety acts and a whole lot of rebellious spirit.
Our charity fundraising events showcase singing, dancing, burlesque, comedy, and so much more.

Ashes to Ashes
Our love letter to David Bowie.
Our Ashes to Ashes show takes you into a seductive world of music, dance, burlesque and circus inspired by David Bowie.
An icon like no other, Bowie’s legacy has been a central part of Cabaret Vs Cancer since 2016.
Ashes to Ashes brings together incredible performers to celebrate his unparalleled artistry while raising money for cancer support charities across the UK.
