International cabaret
miscreant Ophelia Bitz unleashes her new solo show. Songs, silliness, bile and vitriol
with an unhealthy dash of dingbattery and erotic fruit consumption! 'Don't miss her show!'
(Time Out London)
Dragged up by a gogo-dancing alcoholic and 'rescued' from a life of vice
by Jehovah's Witnesses, Ophelia Bitz fought her stage-bound destiny as long as possible.
But some things you just can't escape...A tale of false eyelashes, religion and the roar
of the greasepaint, the smell of the crowd. Libelous anecdotes from Ophelia's career as
one of the UK's top cabaret artists merge with fictional wanderings, audience
participation cunnilingus workshops and a serious Marlene Dietrich fixation....
Clashing songs from Randy Newman, Kurt Weill, Flanders & Swann and Dolly Parton (plus
several startling original numbers) with story-telling and physical comedy, Ophelia Bitz's
caustic, over-sexed and utterly silly comic style has won her praise and recognition on
stages and soap-boxes all over the world.
Bitz may have the mouth of a filthy gutter-slut be she can sing like an
angel" Time Out
Dirty, witty, fabulous. Ophelia Bitz is f*cking hilarious Martyn Jaques,
