Zirkus Cabaret Comedy - Fundraising Night for 'Ups & Downs'

Friday 27. February at 20:00 - 22:00

Doors open at 7pm

FAMEUS, Antwerpen

Introducing a high-speed mix of comedy, music, improv and mayhem....all for a good cause! Hosted by Mademoiselle Mousse Noir (known for her sultry chocolate meditations!) and Crispin Snap (known as a failed magician - but don't tell him that). Together, they'll bring order and chaos in equal measure.

Funds from the show will go towards 'Ups & Downs' - an association that supports people with bipolar disorder or chronic depression, and their families. www.upsendowns.be/
