Freak And the Showgirl, The

Synopsis:
Burlesque has, of late, been staging a come-back - though probably not with the total stripping away of clothes and political correctness that Julie Atlas Muz, the glorious Showgirl in this cabaret twosome, deploys with naughty panache. Freak-shows, however, are definitely not socially acceptable nowadays. Mat Fraser opts to confront that taboo with his own performance in DaDaFest, the Disability and Deaf Arts Festival. Fraser is enviably talented, as his career in film, television and on-stage attests. We see and hear for ourselves just how versatile he is: singing, dancing, joking and wickedly willing to get his own kit off alongside the gleeful Ms Muz. We also see and hear that, as a result of his mother taking Thalidomide while pregnant, he developed phocomelia. Fraser is both frank and roguishly droll about his disability. He grins at us, merrily wiggles his little flipper-like arms at us, and declares kinship with Sealo the Seal Boy, a legendary side-show attraction in the United States from the 1930s until the law intervened in the 70s. As Fraser succinctly points out, before re-creating some of Sealo's act, this legal protection deprived Sealo of his livelihood. What was, of course, being protected was the public's new-found sensibility about those they had been pleased to label freaks and pay money to gawp at. It's this element of hypocrisy and offensive condescension that Fraser and Muz cock a snook, and every other body part, at in their hilariously explicit sketches. there's nothing sleazy or seedy, instead there's wholesome rudery that ridicules prissiness, bigotry and stereotyping - the Scottish skit, with its drinking competition, is a hugely astute hoot to boot.
