The songs varied from pastiche of opera and Weimar cabaret, to edgier cabaret numbers. There were songs sending up the fag of doing the Edinburgh Festival, being an opera singer and how to sing cabaret, plus asides on country house visiting, bad plastic surgery and world affairs. Some of the bons mots were near the knuckle, but that's what cabaret is for isn' it. And there were cocktails too, with an audience competition to get one (and I wish I'd noted down the names and recipes, you will just have to go to the show to find out more).
Cocktails with the Diva runs from 1 to 24 August 2014 at the Assembly Rooms in Edinburgh.
