Kat Robichaud's Misfit Cabaret presents Bloom – a night of decadence, bawdiness, and damsels (not) in distress. Experience the fantastical variety show everyone’s talking about!
Come and play with the Darling Misfits at our twenty-third original cabaret show. A night of spring awakening awaits you in the glamorous Great American Music Hall in San Francisco.
This is no ordinary night at the theater! Bloom is a wild variety show featuring some of the finest Bay Area talent, gathered for one enchanting evening filled with stories of metamorphosis and rebirth. Together with a live band, our hostess and chanteuse, the puckish Kat Robichaud, will serenade you throughout the show as we celebrate the procession of spring.
As always, guest performers grace our stage. See titillating burlesque acts by international sensation Banbury Cross (in her Misfit Cabaret debut) and Oakland’s own Violet on the Rocks, as fauna and flora respectively. Drag duo Carlota Di Carlo and Oliver Branch travel back to a time when goddesses walked the land. Yoko Taketani weaves a dark tale with a maypole dance.
We invite you to participate in our bacchanal, dressed as your favorite flower or woodland creature. So join us in our revelry and prepare to laugh, gasp, and cheer as Misfit Cabaret presents Bloom.
For one night only at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco!
With original music by Kat Robichaud including Pretty Things
************************************************************
Misfit Cabaret is a splendiferous variety show centered around magical music with a rotating cast of eccentric performers. Each show is completely different—with changing themes such as the cult-filmed Cinephilia and the naughty nautical Whimsea. From burlesque to drag to circus to magic, you never know what you're going to see (or get yourself into)! For each new Misfit Cabaret, emcee Kat Robichaud writes two (sometimes three or four!) original songs keeping with the theme of the evening and plays them with her band, The Darling Misfits, as well as a special medley to kick off the evening and welcome in the spirits of San Francisco’s saucy past. There's comedy, romance, and bawdiness around every corner and not a dull moment or dry eye in the house. So come and play with us and befriend a local underground miscreant. Who knows – they might whisper to you when the next secret Misfit Cabaret is!
Founded in 2015 by The Voice finalist Kat Robichaud and co-producer Jordan Nathan, Misfit Cabaret has evolved from an underground production in a tiny San Francisco speakeasy into one of the West Coast's most cherished variety shows. Over the past 10 years, the production has established itself as a "cult" institution, celebrated for its genre-defying blend of rock 'n' roll, burlesque, drag, and circus arts. Beyond its commercial success, the show is lauded for its artistic rigor—Robichaud writes original music for every themed production—and its commitment to community, serving as an inclusive sanctuary for diverse underground artists and "misfits" to thrive in an increasingly expensive arts landscape.
Your hostess with the mostess, Kat Robichaud prowls around the stage: a hellcat unleashed, furious to have been confined in southern 90s suburbia stasis. With various wigs and rock warrior whimsy, she shrieks catharsis that at once stops and rushes the blood of anyone within earshot of her siren song. Part Janis, part Bette, part Mama Cass, Robichaud writes murder ballads, Broadway pop songs about anxiety, and neo-wave rock and roll on anything from alien sex to gaslighting puppeteers. Existing in many forms – sometimes host of her hit musical variety show Misfit Cabaret, sometimes drag artist twirling her pearls in the spotlight of gay sex clubs – Robichaud feels most at home among her fellow queerdos, rattling off current hyperfixations and sipping whiskey with the stunning underground Bay Area artists who survived the gorging promises of corporations in late-stage capitolism. She's a hell of a show woman and has had 20 years of stage time to prove it. It doesn't matter if she's singing in a southern chain chicken joint, a 1,500 seat theater in Times Square, a painted plywood speakeasy, or in front of 15 million people watching her on The Voice: she will get your attention and hold it like she'll die if she chooses to let go. And you hope she never will.
“Cabaret performer Kat Robichaud combines a renegade aesthetic, a wicked sense of humor and a rock star’s singed timbre.” – SF Chronicle
“...a deliciously eclectic medley of performers” – SF Chronicle
“As the glitter-rock diva who famously once crowd-surfed to AWOLNATION’s ‘Sail’ on live TV, Kat Robichaud made history as one of the most electric and fearless Voice contestants of all time. But that iconic performance provided a mere glimpse of her dramatic talents, as the San Francisco theater maverick has since gone on to stage her own successful Bowie- and Burton-inspired rock operas – still performing on her own terms, but showcasing her true voice.” – Yahoo Entertainment
“An exorcise in comic terror that will leave your head spinning.” – SF Weekly
“San Francisco’s weird artists and their possibly even weirder audiences are alive and thriving.” – SF Chronicle
